Rental systems

[edit]
  • There are two ways that you can contract the Jachibang. The owner of Jachibang decides their estate will go payment by either Wal-se or Jeon-se. Total amount of both ways should be equal.
  1. Wal-se(월세-Wal-se in Korean) : Wal-se is the way you pay the rent monthly. Furthermore, you should pay certain amount of money for security deposit. After the contract term without any damage to property, the contractor can get the security money back.
  2. Jeon-se(전세-Jeon-se in Korean) : Jeon-se is the way you actually don’t pay money to the owner. If you pay the assigned amount money (quite a lot) to owner, you can actually “own” the place. The owner can make profit from the money you pay by banking service or investing somewhere else. Like Wal-se, after the contract term is terminated without any damage to property, the contractor can get the security money back.
