Youth Monthly Rent Special Support Application Documents Including Fixed-Date Lease Agreement

Core Summary of Basic Eligibility Requirements for Youth Monthly Rent Special Support

The Youth Monthly Rent Special Support is a representative housing stability policy that provides up to 200,000 KRW per month for up to 24 months (totaling up to 4.8 million KRW).

Before preparing the documents, you must confirm whether you meet the four core criteria: age, residence, income, and assets.

① Age and Residence Requirements

• Age criterion: Youth aged 19 to 34
• Residence criterion: Non-homeowners who live separately from their parents with separate resident registration addresses
• Housing subscription savings account: Must hold a housing subscription savings account in the applicant’s own name (no restrictions on deposit count or payment amount)

Information on Deposit and Monthly Rent Criteria

In the past first phase of the project, the requirement of ‘deposit of 50 million KRW or less and monthly rent of 700,000 KRW or less’ was strictly enforced, but following revisions in the second phase, restrictions on deposit and monthly rent amounts were abolished. Regardless of deposit or rent amounts, you can apply as long as you meet the income and asset criteria.

② Income and Asset Criteria (Most Critical Core Check)

Not only the youth’s own household, but also the ‘original household’ including parents is subject to joint evaluation for income and assets.

• Calculation of assessed income: Earned income, business income, property income, and public transfer income are aggregated, and a basic 30% deduction applies to earned and business income.
• Calculation of asset value: General assets (housing, land, lease deposit, etc.) + vehicle value – liabilities (loans solely for housing purchase and lease deposit purposes are recognized).

③ Exception Conditions Excluding Parental Income (Original Household)

If you meet any of the following conditions, the original household evaluation is exempted, and assessment is conducted solely based on the income and assets of the youth’s own household.

• Aged 30 or older
• Married (including divorced) or a single parent
• Under 30 years old, but recognized as practically independent by having regular income at or above 50% of the standard median income

④ Exclusions from Support (Must Read Before Applying)

• Cases where the applicant or spouse owns a home (including pre-sale rights and occupancy rights)
• Renting a house owned by a blood relative within the 2nd degree of relationship, such as parents, brothers, or sisters
• Residing in public rental housing, such as LH or SH
• Currently receiving benefits from other monthly rent support programs run by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport or local governments (eligible to apply after support ends)

[Core Document] Complete Guide to Preparing a Lease Agreement with a Certified Fixed Date

When applying for the Youth Monthly Rent Special Support, the document that public officials examine most meticulously—and that triggers the most frequent rejections and requests for supplementation—is precisely the ‘Lease Agreement with a Certified Fixed Date Stamp.’

To avoid review delays caused by merely submitting a plain copy of the contract, you must verify the essential requirements and preparation tips below.

① Why Must It Have a ‘Fixed Date’ Stamp?

• Verification of actual residence and contract authenticity: It is the only official means to legally prove that a valid lease agreement was truly executed for the respective housing in order to prevent fraudulent receipt of government subsidies.
• Priority repayment rights and public legal validity: It is an essential procedure cross-referenced with the administrative welfare center system to confirm that the contract holds full legal validity under the Housing Lease Protection Act.
• Caution: A contract containing only a licensed real estate agent’s seal or the landlord’s signature will be immediately subject to document supplementation (rejection) if the fixed date is missing.

② Essential Checklist Before Submitting the Lease Agreement (5 Items)

Before scanning or photographing and uploading, verify that the following information is clearly visible on the contract.

③ Cases Where It Can Be Replaced by a ‘Housing Lease Report Certificate’

Under the Housing Lease Reporting System enforced since June 2021, if you completed the report within 30 days of contract execution, you can issue and submit the ‘Housing Lease Contract Report Certificate’ together instead of an individual fixed date stamp.

• Legal validity of the report certificate: Successfully completing the housing lease report automatically grants a fixed date.
• Submission method: Attaching a printed copy of the report certificate issued via the Real Estate Transaction Management System (RTMS) alongside the lease agreement provides equal recognition.

④ 3-Minute Online Fixed Date Issuance for Those Lacking Time to Visit the Community Center

If visiting the jurisdictional administrative welfare center during weekday daytime is difficult, you can easily obtain a certified fixed date 24 hours a day through the Supreme Court Internet Registry.

1. Required items: Accredited certificate (Joint/Financial certificate), scanned original lease agreement (PDF or high-resolution image file), payment method for the 500 KRW fee
2. Application procedure:

• Access Supreme Court Internet Registry: In the top menu, select Fixed Date > Write and Submit Application
• Enter basic details: Real estate classification (Apartment/Detached/Multi-family, etc.), accurately enter housing road name address
• Enter contract details: Personal information of landlord and tenant, contract term, deposit, and monthly rent
• Attach contract file: Upload scanned lease agreement file (check resolution and file specification)
• Digital signature and fee payment: Sign with accredited certificate and complete payment (typically granted within 1 to 3 hours during business hours)

1. Issuance and printout: After review is completed, print/save and submit the contract composited with the barcode and unique fixed date grant stamp at the top

⑤ Additional Precautions by Special Contract Type

• In case of implicit renewal (contract extension):

If implicitly extended without a separate new contract after expiration, you must prove continued residence by submitting the prior fixed-date contract alongside bank transfer records for the last 3 months of monthly rent.

• Sublease contract (sharehouse, youth housing sublease, etc.):

The original landlord’s sublease consent form and a copy of the master lease agreement must be attached to pass the review.

• Residents of Gosiwon and dormitories:

Instead of a lease agreement, you must prepare an occupancy confirmation letter (with business registration number stated) and receipts for occupancy fee payment as alternative documentation.

Checklist of Essential Documents Easily Overlooked

Lease Ag## Checklist of Essential Documents Easily Overlooked

When applying for civil administrative services, policy loans, or tax-related programs, missing one or two documents often leads to delayed processing or outright rejection. In particular, you must carefully inspect items that are frequently returned due to errors in issuance reference dates or specific option settings (such as showing the rear digits of resident registration numbers).

1. Basic Identification and Household Verification Documents

• Resident Registration Certificate (Deungbon) and Abstract (Chobon):

• Verify that it was issued within the last 1 month (or 3 months).
• Depending on the receiving agency, required option settings vary regarding inclusion of the rear digits of the resident registration number, relationships with household members, and past address change history (entire history / past 5 years), so check the exact submission requirements before issuance.
• Family Relations Certificate (Detailed):

• Agencies may require versions based on the spouse or parents in addition to the applicant.
• Most organizations require the ‘Detailed’ certificate rather than the ‘General’ version, so check the issuance type carefully.

1. Income and Employment Verification Documents

• Withholding Tax Receipt for Earned Income or Certificate of Income Amount:

• Depending on when the prior year’s income is finalized (typically after global income tax filing in May each year), the required submission standard between the year before last or the immediate prior year changes.
• Confirm the acceptable scope of the receiving institution regarding whether it requires an official company seal or an issuance directly from the NTS Hometax portal.
• Health Insurance Qualification Acquisition and Loss Certificate:

• Check whether you need to print the entire history or only current workplace qualification status if your record includes periods of job changes or leave.
• Health Insurance Premium Payment Confirmation:

• Check whether consecutive payment history for the past 3 to 12 months is confirmed.

1. Special Real Estate and Financial Documents

• Copy of Lease Agreement with Certified Fixed Date:

• During evaluations for lease loans or rent support, ensure the certified fixed date seal (or Housing Lease Contract Report Certificate) is stamped clearly.
• Certificate of Entire Registered Matters (Certified Copy of Real Estate Register):

• Verify the validity period, checking whether it includes deleted matters and was viewed/issued on the day of application or within the last 3 days.
• Financial Transaction Confirmation and Certificate of Debt:

• If proof of existing loan details is required, check whether it was issued according to the baseline reference date via a bank branch visit or internet banking.

3-Step Self-Checklist Before Submitting Documents

When printing documents online (via Gov24, Hometax, etc.), check after saving as PDF to ensure the document verification number or bottom barcode is not cut off by browser print settings such as headers/footers or print scale adjustments.

Pro Tips for Photographing Documents for Online Submission

When photographing documents directly with a smartphone camera, reviewing officials will request supplementation if text is blurred by shadow or fluorescent glare. Place documents on a flat floor and upload clean scans without excessive margins using the default smartphone camera’s ‘Scan document’ mode or free scanner apps (such as vFlat, CamScanner, etc.).

② Offline Application: In-Person Filing at Jurisdictional Administrative Welfare Center

In-person filing is recommended if online document uploading feels complicated or if you require on-site consultation due to special contract forms (such as subleases or Gosiwons).

• Visit location: Eup, Myeon, or Dong Administrative Welfare Center (Community Center) having jurisdiction over the applicant’s resident registration address

• Caution: You must visit the jurisdiction where the youth applicant has completed their move-in report, not the parents’ address.
• Operating hours: Weekdays 09:00 – 18:00 (Excluding lunch hours 12:00 – 13:00, weekends, and public holidays)
• Applicant eligibility: In principle, applications must be made by the applicant in person; when visited by an agent (legal representative, or family member sharing the same household on the resident register), a power of attorney, the agent’s ID, and proof of representation are additionally required.
• Items to bring on site:

1. Applicant identification card (Resident Registration Card, Driver’s License, Mobile ID, etc.)
2. Original (or copy) of Lease Agreement stamped with a certified fixed date
3. Printed receipt proving monthly rent account transfers for the past 3 months
4. Copy of bankbook under applicant’s own name
5. Printed Family Relations Certificate (Detailed, displaying all rear digits of resident registration numbers)

③ Checking Application Progress and Review Results

Once submission is complete, the local government’s integrated investigation management team conducts an electronic income/asset investigation and document qualification assessment.

• Online lookup path: Bokjiro Login > My Page > Welfare Service Application Status
• Responding to supplementation requests: If you receive a text message requesting supplementation due to unreadable documents or missing fixed dates, you must immediately submit supplementary files through the Bokjiro ‘Submit Supplement’ menu, by fax, or via in-person visit within the guided deadline (typically 7 to 10 days) to prevent cancellation of your application.

Most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and Tips to Prevent Document Rejection

Even though requirements for the Youth Monthly Rent Special Support seem straightforward, many applicants face document supplementation requests or ineligibility decisions due to minor administrative omissions or misunderstandings.
Here are the 4 most frequently asked questions and key tips to raise your chances of passing review on the first try.
Q1. I forgot to get a fixed date at the time of contract execution. Will it be accepted if I get it now?
Yes, you can apply if you obtain it immediately and submit it.
Even if you did not obtain a fixed date at the time of the original contract, it is recognized as long as a record granted prior to (or on the date of) the application date is valid. You can bring the original contract to a nearby community center or obtain a fixed date online on the same day via the Supreme Court Internet Registry, attach the document, and apply.
Q2. If maintenance fees are billed separately, are they included in the monthly rent support amount?
No. Only the pure ‘monthly rent’ is eligible for support.
Example: Contract with deposit of 10 million KRW / monthly rent of 250,000 KRW / maintenance fee of 70,000 KRW
Although the actual monthly expenditure is 320,000 KRW, the baseline calculation amount is the pure monthly rent of 250,000 KRW. Therefore, the maximum monthly subsidy of 200,000 KRW will be paid normally.
If a contract has pure monthly rent of 150,000 KRW and a maintenance fee of 100,000 KRW, payments will be capped at 150,000 KRW, which is the actual rent excluding maintenance fees.
Q3. Can I provide proof if I pay monthly rent to my landlord in cash?
In principle, ‘official financial records’ must be verified for recognition.
Most reliable proof: Bank transfer receipts, bank counter deposit slips, internet banking transaction confirmations (documents detailing sender, recipient account number and name, amount, and date/time).
Alternatives for cash payment: You must provide an explanation of withdrawal records together with an NTS Cash Receipt (designated for housing rent) issued by the landlord or a rent receipt signed/sealed by the landlord. However, simple informal hand receipts carry an extremely high risk of being rejected depending on the local government, so switching to electronic bank transfers to leave clear records is the safest route.
Q4. Is it a problem if the resident registration move-in report date differs from the balance settlement date (move-in date) on the contract?
Actual residency is judged based on the ‘date the move-in report was completed.’
Even if the start date specified on the contract has passed, you are excluded from support if a move-in report has not been completed. Conversely, if you completed your move-in report a few days later than the contract start date, support benefits become active starting from the moment the move-in report is finalized and the address on your resident registration certificate matches the rented property. Therefore, you must submit your application only after move-in registration processing is complete.
💡 3 Major Checkpoints to Prevent Document Rejection in Advance

1. Double-Check Family Relations Certificate Issuance Options

Make sure it was issued as a ‘Detailed’ certificate and that all 13 digits of resident registration numbers for both the youth applicant and parents are disclosed (displaying rear digits). If printed as ‘General’ or if the rear digits are masked with asterisks (*), a supplementation request will occur 100% of the time.

1. Verify Recipient Name Match on Transfer Confirmations

The account holder name on rent transfer records must match the lessor’s (landlord’s) name on the lease agreement. If you have been transferring funds to an account belonging to the landlord’s family member (spouse, child, etc.), that specific account must be stated in the contract’s special terms or accompanied by a separate confirmation letter/power of attorney to prevent rejection.

1. Check Uploaded Image Borders and Specifications

When applying via mobile app, ensure that all four corners of contracts or receipts are not cut off and that fixed date numbers or contract monetary amounts are not obscured by fluorescent light reflection before final submission.
