| English summary | Meiji Corporation's Kobe branch, its subordinate office, had its sole licensed real estate transaction agent resign on August 31, 2022. Despite the agent's departure and absence, the company moved the office and filed a notification to establish it as a new Kyoto branch without installing a new licensed agent. Subsequently, the company filed a notification of a change of licensed agent for this office, but the report falsely claimed the previous agent was still employed until the new agent was appointed on July 18, 2024. This resulted in a period of non-compliance with legal requirements, violating Article 31-3, Paragraph 3 of the Real Estate Business Act, which corresponds to Item 2, Paragraph 2, Article 65 of the same law. The enforcement action was a 7-day suspension of operations, issued by the Kinki Regional Development Bureau on October 3, 2025. |
| Original Japanese text | 被処分者は、その従たる事務所である神戸支店において、唯一の専任の宅地建物取引士が令和４年８月３１日に退職し、不在であったにもかかわらず、新たな宅地建物取引士を設置しないままその事務所を移転し、京都支店として新たに開設する旨の届出をおこなった。 その後、この事務所において専任の宅地建物取引士が交代した旨の届出をおこなったが、交代までの間、交代前の専任の宅地建物取引士が在職していたとする届出は事実と異なっていた。この結果、新たに専任の宅地建物取引士を設置する令和６年７月１８日までの間、法の規定に適合しない状態を継続させた。このことは、法第３１条の３第３項の規定に違反し、これは法第６５条第２項第２号に該当する。 |
