Protect your housing deposit in Korea
Korean housing deposits can be large enough to change your entire relocation risk, so treat deposit protection as a separate workflow.
Before transferring money, verify the contract, recipient, property details, deposit amount, return terms, address eligibility, and the records you need after move-in.
TL;DR Answer
- Deposit protection is a separate task from finding a room.
- Never rely only on screenshots, verbal promises, or pressure to transfer quickly.
- Keep contract, bank transfer, address, move-in, and communication records together.
