In the wake of the recent charter scams, the government has strictly changed the conditions for obtaining guarantee insurance. As a result, houses that have paid a deposit according to the conditions are instead resorting to higher maintenance fees.

Reporter Ahn Sang-woo covered it.

It is close to the subway station on Line
1 and is an area of Doksan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, where villas and multi-family houses that are cheaper than apartments are clustered.

However, in recent years, it has become difficult to find rental properties that offer deposit insurance.

This is because, in the aftermath of the charter fraud incident, the charter deposit had to be within 126% of the published price to be guaranteed insurance.

[Real estate official: (Isn't there a guarantee insurance here?) The disclosure price exceeds 126% of the total ... I don't have one.]

Many homes that have a deposit to be insured require a monthly maintenance fee.

It is to pass on the reduced deposit to the management fee.

[Real estate official: (How much?) 1 to 5 million. Originally it was 30 million, but it was said that it would go down to 2 million, so from the landlord's point of view, it just can't be lowered, and he will receive the monthly rent (in the name of management fees).]

There are still a lot of management costs in the monthly rental market.

Originally scheduled for the end of this month, when the monthly rent exceeds 1,5 won, it is mandatory to report the previous month's rent, and before the end of the period, the monthly rent does not exceed 30,30 won, but the number of properties that have to pay more than the monthly rent has increased.

Fearing that the size of rental income could be exposed and taxes could increase, landlords are raising maintenance fees instead of rent.

The amount of money that the whole nation spends annually on the management of collective housing is a whopping 23 trillion won. Currently, it is mandatory for 100 or more units to disclose the details of management costs, and from the beginning of next year, it will be expanded to more than 50 households.



However, small houses such as studios, officetels, villas, and multi-family houses are still in a blind spot.

[Mr. A/Tenant: Landlords don't change anything. "I just pay the rent according to the law, but if you guys really want to move into my house, I pay more.']

It is pointed out that the management costs of houses with less than 50 units, where comparative information is more limited, should also be transparently disclosed.
