A tenant living in a studio apartment disappeared without paying rent, and the condition of the room was reportedly shocking?

Yes, a video recently shared on social media showed the interior of a studio apartment in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, completely filled with garbage.

Plastic bags, delivery containers, and food waste were piled up to knee-height on the floor, and dozens of disposable coffee cups were scattered everywhere.

According to the person who uploaded the post, the tenant had lived in the room—which had a deposit of less than 1 million won—for over a year before going into hiding while several months' worth of rent and utility bills remained unpaid.

As the story spread, it sparked debate among netizens.

Some voiced opinions that "landlords should be allowed to check tenants' homes periodically," while counterarguments expressed concerns over the violation of housing rights and privacy, stating that "tenants who reside lawfully should not be monitored."
