Guide to Establishing Residency and Deregistering Move-Out: Essential Documents for Tenants and Landlord Self-Protection Applica

To enable tenants and landlords to efficiently handle procedures according to the law, the specific processes for 'Tenant Establishing Residency' and 'Landlord Applying for Temporary Residency Transfer' are explained separately: I. Forms and Documents Required for Tenant Establishing Residency Tenants do not need to fill out complex forms themselves. Simply bring the following documents to the local household registration office to complete the 'residency registration' process: • Basic Identification: Original national ID card of the person establishing residency, and a seal (or signature). • Original Household Register: Original household register from the previous address. • Proof of Residence (Choose one): 1. Lease agreement notarized by a court. 2. If the lease agreement is not notarized, a current property tax statement (or certificate of title) for the rented property must also be provided. II. Landlord's Application Process for 'Temporary Transfer of Tenant's Residency to Household Registration Office' When the lease term expires, the tenant is unreachable, and there is no longer factual residence in the property, the landlord can apply for 'compulsory deregistration of residency' according to Article 50 of the Household Registration Act: 1. Prepare Documents: The property owner (landlord) should bring their ID card, seal, certificate of title (or current property tax statement), and proof of lease termination (e.g., expired lease agreement, certified letter). 2. Apply in Person: Visit the household registration office where the property is located. 3. Verification and Deregistration: Upon acceptance, the household registration office will conduct an on-site investigation. If it is confirmed that the tenant has indeed moved out and their whereabouts are unknown, the office will issue a notice. If the tenant fails to complete the procedures within the specified period, the household registration office will legally transfer their residency to the said office.
