A Complete Guide to Seoul Housing Portal’s Jeonse Fraud Prevention for Foreigners

※ Korea’s jeonse system replaces monthly rent with a large refundable deposit returned at the end of the lease. If you don’t understand how it works, you can suffer serious losses—often tied to senior liens or owners’ debt problems. Seoul provides the must-know 8 key checks in multiple languages (including English) so both locals and foreigners can avoid common pitfalls.
This post uses the official PDF from the Seoul Global (Foreign Residents) Portal you shared as the primary source, and turns it into a practical checklist with ready-to-use questions and special clauses for the contract table. You can confirm every point in the notice and attachment on the Seoul Global Portal. 😅
