What is Rent Conversion?
Rent conversion refers to converting all or part of the Jeonse deposit to monthly rent, or vice versa. The Housing Lease Protection Act sets a maximum conversion rate to reduce tenant burden.
Legal Conversion Rate
Maximum Conversion Rate:
5% annually (Bank of Korea base rate + 3.5%)
As of 2024, may vary with base rate changes
How to Choose
| Criteria | Jeonse Better | Monthly Better |
|---|---|---|
| Available Funds | Have savings | Limited savings |
| Investment Skill | Low returns | High returns |
| Stay Duration | Long-term | Short-term |
| Rate Outlook | Rising rates | Falling rates |
What is Opportunity Cost?
When you lock your money in a Jeonse deposit, you give up potential investment returns. This is opportunity cost. For example, 300 million KRW at 4% return would earn 12 million KRW annually, which you forgo with Jeonse.
Important Considerations
- Consider risk of deposit non-return
- Protect against fraud (get deposit insurance)
- Check renewal increase limits (5% cap)
- Consider monthly rent tax deduction benefits
