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

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
