In the run-up to the presidential election in 2024 Lai’s old house became a source of controversy as media figures and opposition forces claimed some or all of the house was constructed illegally. The details seem obscure and unclear, but all can agree that this is not a luxury home. In any case, Lai pledged to turn his old house into a small to the life of miners in the area (礦工生活紀念館), though this has yet to be realized as of September 2024.
