Even if necessary for a living, only vehicles under KRW 24.68 million are allowed.
‘Vehicles are not required for youth homes in the station area with convenient transportation
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has set a new vehicle registration standard for youth housing in the station area and decided to evict vehicles if they have inappropriate vehicles. This is a measure to avoid noise from the process of expanding the supply of rental housing by strengthening the conditions and monitoring the occupation conditions of the residents of public housing that the city provided various incentives.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 4th that it has set a new price standard so that if owning a vehicle is unavoidable among youth housing tenants, they can register a vehicle priced at 26.68 million won or less.
Commercial vehicles are vehicles used to deliver goods and carry work tools, such as electricity and interiors, and are limited to trucks and vans. This is a big difference from what was possible in the past for income activities regardless of vehicle type. Relevant persons must prepare and submit supporting documents (employment certificate, business registration card, vehicle registration card, and a photograph of the vehicle with cargo or tools).
In the case of motorcycles, vehicles of 125cc or less are only allowed for subsistence purposes, such as delivery or courier service, specifying the purpose of use. Residents must submit relevant supporting documents, such as photos of the vehicles being delivered. Vehicles registered for pregnant women and disabled people with limited mobility are allowed, and vehicles for children under 6 years old are limited to vehicles for infants and younger children who need to be accompanied by a guardian. A city official explained: “We decided to continue allowing vehicles for pregnant women and babies as it was in line with the low birth rate policy.” However, even in this case, the price of the vehicle cannot exceed 24.68 million won.
The reason that the Seoul Metropolitan Government has introduced such a regulation is due to a recent investigation that there are residents owning vehicles that are inappropriate for the purpose using the vehicle ownership exception. Previously, the city surveyed 2,397 households in 6 youth housing areas in the station area and found 17 vehicles unsuitable for the purpose of use, including 9 for living, 2 for babies, and 6 for motorcycles. Among these were medium to large size vehicles such as Grandeur, Genesis, and Carnival.
Residents of youth housing in an area of the station with convenient transportation basically cannot own a vehicle. However, owning a vehicle is allowed only when unavoidable, such as living, protecting children, and having a mobility disability. A city official said: “We guided them to get rid of these vehicles by the end of this month” and said: “If they keep them, we will evict them and impose a penalty for violating the agreement.” Parking for youth homes built in the station area is approximately 0.25 to 0.4 vehicles per household, with the remaining space used as paid parking, occupied by resident-owned vehicles and shared vehicles subject to exceptions. This income is used to reduce household management expenses (about 13,000 won per month).
The city’s efforts to strengthen the management of youth housing residents are not unrelated to the city’s policy to expand the supply of public housing. A senior official in Seoul said: “If things happen that obscure the purpose of the public housing project to support the vulnerable, there will be difficulties in promoting city policies. In the first half of next year, Seoul plans to fill 10% of total households (3.8 million) with public rental housing, and plans to supply 22,000 additional public rental housing in the station area by 2025 as a follow-up measure. to expand the supply of housing in the metropolitan area.
