Exclusive LH is also a chartered fraud warning...I don't check the list of rogue renters.

LH also failed to return the deposit for the lease business
LH's Lack of Confirmation of 'Vicious Lessor' Despite Spread of Cheonsei Fraud
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport released a list of 1 year ago...LH, I'm not checking.

The Korea Land and Housing Corporation and LH's lease projects for young people or newlyweds have nearly tripled in a year to 100 billion won last year.

Since last year, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has released a list of "malicious renters" who habitually fail to return deposits, but LH's confirmation process has been insufficient.

Reporter Yuh-hyun reports.

LH is conducting a lease project for young people or newlyweds.

It is a kind of residential welfare project in which LH first signs a lease contract with the landlord and re-lease it to the applicant at a low price.

However, as of August, more than 2,700 renters have not returned the deposit to LH.

Among them, the number of damages is expected to be greater as there were landlords who did not return more than 50 deposits.

In addition, the amount of deposits that were not returned nearly tripled from 38.1 billion won last year to 100 billion won last year.

With the spread of jeonse fraud, LH damage has also increased rapidly.

As such, it is important to filter out "malicious renters" who do not return deposits on a regular basis, but it has been confirmed that management is not done properly.

According to YTN coverage, 20 of the lessors who did not return the deposit to LH were registered on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's "malicious lessors list."

LH may not have had a way to confirm at the time of contract as it has managed the list of malicious renters since last year, but
A year after the disclosure of the
list, the landlord has not yet investigated whether the landlord has been registered on the list of malicious renters.

[LH official: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and HUG have not officially notified (LH) in writing, and there is now no date of birth on the list.... So it was a bit difficult for us to check....]

However, it is not impossible to check as the name, age, and residential area are on the list of malicious renters.

Even if the deposit is not returned, it seems difficult to avoid criticism that the verification is neglected as Seoul Guarantee Insurance pays it instead.

[LH official: It's a way to get the deposit back from the guarantee insurance company and claim the right to indemnify it, so it's not like all the unreturned deposits are taken as our loss, so wasn't there a slight negligence?].]

LH's complacency may increase the damage of not returning the deposit on the lease.

[Son Myung-soo / Democratic Party of Korea National Assembly member] He signed a lease contract with someone who was sure to take out the lease. When LH signs a lease contract, we have to set a restriction so that we don't sign a contract with someone like this.]

LH said it would receive and confirm the accident lessor information from Seoul Guarantee Insurance before the lease contract, but explained that it would consider improving the system for further verification with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
