Jeonse is a unique housing rental system in which the landlord leases their property in exchange for a large deposit from the tenant. When the lease ends, the tenant receives their deposit back, and the landlord takes back the property. For those unfamiliar with the jeonse system, it may seem like an unfair system for landlords.
For landlords, jeonse was a way to maximize
investment returns. With Korea's urbanization rate growing from 20% in the
1950s to 90% by the 2010s, housing prices rose steadily due to concentrated
demand. Investors purchasing property often favored jeonse over monthly rentals
because the financial industry was relatively underdeveloped then. For
landlords, jeonse became a strategic way to leverage their investments.
The rise of apartments as a new housing
model also contributed to the expansion of the jeonse system. Unlike
traditional single-family homes, apartments in Korea were mass-produced with
standardized designs, making them more attractive. Their uniform size and layout
offered far greater cash liquidity compared to older housing types.
After the 2010s, monthly rentals have been
steadily replacing jeonse arrangements. This shift is largely due to the advancements
in the financial sector and a slowdown in housing price growth.
