Abstract
The second section of the 38th article of Act on Land and Building Leases requires the property owner or his/her agent to explain, before the lease contract, (1) that there is no renewal of the contract so that the lease will expire with the fulfillment of the term, (2) by handing over documents which show the conditions, and (3) by means of either face-to-face talk, telephone talk, or TV talk through the Internet. There is no more legal requirement beyond them. Even if the graphical image is unclear or is not shown in the case of the talk through IT, the explanation is valid as far as the voice is clearly understandable in the communication. The coinstantaneous explanation of fixed-term tenancy and important particulars of the property is not permitted with the notice by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in February, 2018, but has been allowed and valid since the introduction of the fixed-term tenancy.
