Starting from the 15th of next month, the government plans to impose enforcement fees when living accommodations (Saengsuk) are used for residential purposes, and conflict is growing between the tenants and the developer over the change of use of Saengsuk to an officetel near Byeongjeom Station in Hwaseong.
This is because, in a situation where it is virtually impossible to change the use to an officetel, there are claims that subcontractors are suffering damage because the company advertised that change of use to an officetel was possible at the time of sale.
According to Incheon Ilbo coverage on the 17th, this building, which was completed last July, has 4 underground floors and 16 above-ground floors, and contains 165 living accommodations and 17 neighborhood living facilities. The parking size is 152 cars. Move-in is currently in progress.
Unlike officetels, living quarters cannot be used for residential purposes and must be registered and operated as a lodging business. If you live there without changing the use, such as for residential purposes (officetel), you must pay 10% of the publicly announced price as a enforcement fee from the 15th of the next month.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport did not apply regulations such as banning the installation of balconies, installation of exclusive entrances, and restrictions on underfloor heating when changing the use of living quarters to officetels by the 14th of next month, and also postponed the imposition of enforcement fees. This is a ‘picture-of-a-picture’ position.
It is virtually impossible to change the use of this building to an officetel. In order to use it as an officetel, it is necessary to add 19 legal parking spaces and meet the legal standards for officetels, such as providing a communication box on each floor, but construction has already been completed and there is no free space to expand facilities.
In addition, since it is built on a site where officetel construction is not possible according to the district unit plan, it must go through procedures such as the city planning deliberation committee following applying for a district unit plan change. Even if all of these procedures have been completed, a change of use can be applied to the local government only following 100% consent from the recipients.
The tenants are angry that the sales agency said that change of use was possible at the time of sales promotion, so they proceeded with the contract. Mr. A, who received the sale, said, “Before signing the contract, it was clearly said that the use might be changed from living quarters to officetel, but once construction began, it was different from what I knew,” and “The developer should take responsibility.”
On the other hand, the developer’s position is that there is no problem because the contract was signed following sufficiently explaining the facility and change of use before signing the contract. An official from the developer said, “We checked to see if there was any exaggerated publicity, provided information regarding the accommodation, and then proceeded with the contract. It is excessive to hold the developer responsible.”
