The cases of rent and monthly rent fraud, which have emerged as serious social problems in the past year or two, cannot be anything other than a shameless fraud, considering that the victims are socially disadvantaged people or those just starting out in society.
Most of the victims were people who had dreamed of going to school, getting a job, getting married, and owning their own home by pooling as much money as they could to solve the most basic problem of housing, and by devoting themselves to social life, they had laid the foundation for their lives by securing even a small living space, and these people are those who have dreamed of going to school, getting a job, getting married, and owning their own home. This regrettable incident of having their hopes dashed and some of the victims ending their lives because of this is something that must no longer happen in our society.
Blaming the victims for the fraud damage by saying that the victims lack experience and knowledge in real estate contracts or that they did not fully understand the facts is nothing more than our society shifting responsibility. In order to grow into a healthy society, all members of society must make an effort to solve problems and prevent damage.
Real estate contracts are one of the most important contracts. Real estate involves a lot of money, and even if it is a small amount, for some people, that money may be their entire assets. That is why real estate contracts must be carefully checked and reviewed in many aspects before entering into a contract. That is why there is a real estate agent system.
Of course, some unscrupulous real estate agents are criticized by society for engaging in rent and deposit fraud, but the vast majority of real estate agents take pride in their work and do their best to protect the rights and interests of their customers.
