Redevelopment and reconstruction associations at major Seoul project sites are increasingly filing eviction suits and possession-transfer injunctions against all households as relocation begins, a tactic known as blanket eviction. The associations say preemptive litigation can prevent a small number of holdouts from delaying projects and raising financing and construction costs. Critics argue it unnecessarily pulls households that are preparing to leave into legal disputes and increases anxiety. The Bukahyeon District 2 association plans to warn all residents and occupants before relocation begins on Nov. 9; it says suits will be withdrawn and litigation costs waived for households that leave during the voluntary period, while late movers will face damages and court enforcement costs. The Daekyo apartment association plans a similar approach during a six-month relocation period starting on the 1st of next month, with noncompliant households responsible for financing, construction-cost increases and post-period management fees. The strategy has spread since Eunma in Daechi-dong announced plans last month to file suits, injunctions and damages claims against all tenants after receiving project implementation approval. Eunma's stance has triggered opposition from retail tenants seeking hundreds of millions of won in relocation compensation and livelihood protections. Other projects, including Noryangjin Districts 3 and 1, are pursuing voluntary relocation, with District 3 offering 5 million won incentives. Industry officials say litigation may shorten timelines but warn that an emotional backlash could create greater project risks.
