The jangki suseon chungdanggeum (long-term repair reserve) is legally the owner's cost, so tenants reclaim it on move-out. Applying the statutory formula, a 110 sq m unit runs 16,000-49,000 won a month, or 390,000-1,180,000 won over two years.
If the home you rent is auctioned off, the first money a tenant receives in Seoul is capped at 55 million won. A single boundary — a deposit of 165 million won — decides an 8 million won swing in what you get back.
Under Korea's lease renewal right, a landlord may raise the deposit or rent by at most 5%. On a 300 million won jeonse deposit that is 15 million won — worth 62,500 won a month once converted at the current 5.00% rate.
Filing a jeonipsingo (resident registration move-in report) does not protect a tenant that same day — the effect begins at 00:00 the next day. If a mortgage is registered in that gap, the bank ranks first. Includes the arithmetic behind Seoul's 55 million won priority payout.
The jangi suseon chungdanggeum (long-term repair reserve) a tenant pays inside the monthly maintenance bill is refundable by the owner at move-out. Two years in a 112㎡ unit comes to between 546,000 and 1.69 million won, claimable for up to ten years.
A dagagu (multi-household) building is one title under one owner, so at auction every tenant's deposit competes for priority. Using a case of a 1 billion won value with 300M in liens and 400M in senior deposits, this piece calculates whether your deposit is safe.
Jeonse deposit insurance pays out when a landlord cannot return the deposit — but it does not attach to every jeonse contract automatically. Property type eligibility, premium calculation, and red flags that trigger denial: what to verify before signing.
Seoul has signaled a supply of 310,000 units by 2031, but a long lag exists between plan and actual move-ins, during which the jeonse market moves on its own. Layering Yongsan redevelopment momentum and the post-surcharge transaction decline clarifies the path from supply to jeonse price impact.
