With the holiday season in full swing, illegal accommodations are rampant at summer resorts.

It is to receive guests by decorating apartments or multi-family houses as accommodations.

Safety management is weak, and even if an accident occurs, it is difficult to receive compensation, so caution is required.

Reporter Song Se-hyeok covered the story.

An apartment on a beach in Gangwon-do.

The enforcement team visited after making a reservation through a shared lodging app.

The bedding is decorated like a pension, and the refrigerator is empty.

They were caught doing illegal lodging business for 500,000 won a night.

It is illegal to operate a lodging business for locals in a residential building in an urban area or to operate a homestay in rural villages without reporting.

It is estimated that there are about 2,000 apartments and multi-family houses operating illegally in Gangwon-do alone.

Especially during the holiday season, it is difficult to find a room, so illegal business is more rampant.

Illegal accommodations are vulnerable to safety accidents because they do not undergo safety inspections.

In fact, three years ago in Donghae City, a gas explosion at an unreported lodging establishment killed seven people, including a family member.

It seems necessary to supplement the system that can check registration in the shared lodging app.
