<Anchor> The



government has explained that the purpose of the Lease Act is to protect tenants by preventing landlords from raising the rent a lot.

As you heard earlier, Director Kim Sang-jo explained that he was also living in a jeonse, and the landlord asked him to raise the deposit, so he did this to raise the money, but it was confirmed that he and his spouse had over 1 billion won in deposit .

The rent for an apartment in Geumho-dong, Seoul, where the former Blue House Policy Officer Kim Sang-jo resides, rose from 330 million won three years ago to 500 million won two years ago and 550 million won last year.



It is possible to explain that the price of the rented apartment in Cheongdam-dong, which he owned, was raised by KRW 120 million in the new three years, by KRW 220 million.



This is the property details of Mr. Kim, which was recently published in the official gazette.



Although it was reduced by 200 million won from last year to repay the loan, we have a deposit of nearly 1.4 billion won with our spouse.



Last year, the couple's deposit amount was about 1.6 billion won.



Looking at the loan history, it is said that when the property was disclosed last year, a loan of 200 million won was received in the name of the person and spouse, which is similar to the increase in the jeonse price.



A year later, I paid off this loan in full, and there is an explanation that my deposits have decreased.



Therefore, it is pointed out whether it was possible to cover the increase in the rent for Geumho-dong through additional loans or withdrawal of deposits.



In response, Jeon Kim said that the rented price of the apartment in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, was lower than the surrounding market price, and agreed with tenants to raise the rent for the first time last year.



It is also known that out of the 1.4 billion won deposit, more than 850 million won was deposited in the Cheongdam-dong apartment charter deposit.



The government has emphasized the reinforcement of tenants' rights and interests as the reason for the introduction of the ceiling system for rent to cheonsei, which was involved in the establishment of Kim Jeon.



As if conscious of the criticism that the credibility of the system had been compromised, Jeon Kim resigned, saying that he was sorry and regretted.
