The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on 11th that it will recruit 'Safe Lease Details' university student supporters to help young people safely sign lease agreements worldwide.
'Safe Lease Details' will directly participate in various campaigns, such as completing lease fraud prevention education provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and creating online promotional content that informs young people about safe leasing methods.
Safe Lease Details is open to any university or graduate student currently enrolled or on leave who has a strong interest in safe lease agreements and preventing lease fraud.
The recruitment period is from today until the 27th of this month. The ministry plans to select approximately 30 Safe Lease Details participants through a first-stage document screening and a second-stage interview process.
The selected Safe Lease Details members will conduct online and offline activities from the launch ceremony until November of this year, approximately for six months, to inform peers about safe lease agreement methods each month.
A certificate of completion will be awarded upon meeting the activity performance criteria. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to award the Minister's Prize to outstanding activity teams and to the winners of the policy contest.
The ministry also plans to hold a lease fraud prevention policy contest to gather innovative policy proposals from 'Safe Lease Details' based on the field experiences gained through the Safe Lease campaign activities.
Han Seong-su, head of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's lease fraud victim support team, noted, 'It is a critical time for preventive policies that match the perspectives of young people in their 20s and 30s, who have a high proportion of lease fraud victims,' and added, 'We plan to carry out an effective Safe Lease campaign with Safe Lease Details to enhance the understanding of lease agreements among young people who are stepping into society and becoming parties to lease agreements but are lacking in contracting experience.'
