In Korea not so much, I’ve seen korean apartment tour videos were even higher deposits were mentioned (and they weren’t like multi-rooms apartments, just normal ones). It all depends from the aparment’s size and type, its position, how much rent per month you wanna pay (the higher the deposit the lower your monthly rent will be)….and the city you’re gonna stay - Seoul is one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Hi!! I'm trying to rent an apartment for Fall of 2023 since I'm studying abroad for one semester. How early do you think I should start contacting a realter if I want the lease to start in end of Aug? Also, do you know if these places will allow for shorter leases (4 months?) tysm!!

@homebodyhannah

Жыл бұрын

hi! i would say about contacting them 1-2 months (i contacted them with a little more time from my desired move in date because i really wanted to make sure i had enough time) is best since too early means that there aren't that many listings up yet! most people look for houses july/aug and jan/feb i believe since those are the months right before the school semester starts, so it becomes a first come first serve race haha. as for short term, a lot of places will not allow about four months(because landlords do not like going through the contract process over and over) but there are specific listings from time to time that welcome even two month leases! i think it does take a lot of combing through to really find some okay ones tho
