Suwon City Analyzes Jeonse Fraud and Empty Deposit Jeonse Victim Situation Using Registry Certificates... National First

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon City announced on the 9th that it has analyzed the status of victim households for the first time in the nation by linking rights relationship information from registry certificates with survey information from households affected by jeonse fraud and empty deposit jeonse.

The city, together with Korea Urban Research Institute, conducted a survey from April to May on 374 households that suffered jeonse fraud or empty deposit jeonse damage. The survey content included lease information, senior rights relationships and damages, status and opinions on support measures, and household situation.

Additionally, the city obtained registry certificates for 358 households with valid road-name addresses and existing registry certificates, and analyzed in connection with survey results the following: △owner (lessor) information △senior liens △foreclosure/public auction registration status △private rental housing registration status △lease rights registration and jeonse rights establishment △joint security establishment status, etc.

The analysis examined whether the junior lessee had a senior lien prior to the deposit, whether the junior lessee qualified for priority repayment, and confirmed the establishment of joint security including the damaged property.

As a result of the analysis linking registry certificates, 82.1% of the properties analyzed had joint security established. Among the non-small amount junior lessees (89.9%) and small amount junior lessees (89.6%) whose losses would inevitably be greater than senior lessees upon completion of foreclosure, the majority had joint security established.

A city official stated, "We accurately analyzed the actual situation of victim households by utilizing registry certificates and survey results as basic materials for proposing legal enactment and institutional improvements for support to jeonse fraud and empty deposit jeonse victim households and for preventing damage."
