AB - his study examines the housing problems of young tenants as problems of contractual vulnerability rather than simply issues of housing costs or housing supply. Young people often enter the rental market with limited assets, unstable income, and little transactional experience while facing legally complex lease contracts.
Because they rarely receive systematic education before signing, many rely on informal advice or brokerage explanations, which deepens information asymmetry into interpretive asymmetry and creates structural risks such as misunderstanding of rights, deposit recovery risk, and failure to satisfy legal protection requirements.
This study argues that the existing legal framework remains centered on requirement based protection and ex post remedies. It reconceptualizes basic real estate education as an ex ante rights protection mechanism and proposes a mandatory precontract education model composed of a universal module, a property specific risk diagnosis module, risk grading, and a Young Tenant Safety Verification Number.
The study shows that young tenants’ housing rights must be protected through ex ante risk prevention.
