The Korea Real Estate Agency and the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG) are launching a service that allows users to verify confirmed lease dates in real time through the Safe Lease App. This initiative aims to enhance protections against lease fraud and safeguard tenant deposits.
On August 12, the Korea Real Estate Agency and HUG announced the implementation of the 'Confirmed Date Information Linkage Project.' This project is part of the government's comprehensive measures to prevent lease fraud introduced in March. The core of the initiative is to provide data from the integrated rental information system, allowing users to easily access housing rental information from various agencies.
As a result, the Korea Real Estate Agency will provide real-time confirmed date information to HUG. Tenants will be able to conveniently check the effectiveness of their priority claim rights and the timing of their confirmation through the Safe Lease App.
The information provided will include details such as contract duration, deposit amount, and address, based on the items the user agrees to share.
Specifically, the Korea Real Estate Agency will supply confirmed date information upon request from tenants using the Safe Lease App, while HUG will verify confirmed date issuance and residency registration information to guide users on when they can secure their priority claim rights.
Previously, tenants had to visit administrative offices, such as community centers, to confirm the timing of their confirmed dates and the status of their priority claim rights. With this new linkage, tenants can access relevant information anytime through the Safe Lease App, significantly improving their access to information.
Being able to instantly verify confirmed dates and residency registration status before and after lease agreements will make it easier for tenants to assess the protection of their deposits.
Choi In-ho, president of HUG, stated, “We will establish an integrated information system that allows tenants to easily check not only confirmed dates but also various rental-related information through the Safe Lease App. We will also actively utilize AI technology to provide the information that citizens need more easily and accurately.”
Lee Heon-wook, president of the Korea Real Estate Agency, emphasized, “Real estate is a foundation of life that all citizens should enjoy stably, and ensuring housing stability is a critical challenge. As a data specialist organization, we will do our utmost to create a transparent and safe rental market environment to realize the constitutional value of housing rights.”
