Hello,

Can someone tell me how much the key money/deposit is on average for a single apartment like the one's most teachers get set up with?

Thanks.

Would 10M won be enough?

Also, is that a one-time payment, or do monthly payments need to be paid also?

Thanks.

10M would be enough for a small apartment in an older building.

Rent is still to be paid on top of that.

[homer521]

Can you please also give me an average monthly rent fee?

Thanks dude.

I'd say with a small apartment like that, possible between 150,000 to 300,000W per month.

Make sure it's air-conditioned;)

My place is really small, but I have a bathroom, small kitchen, and in my room I have a wardrobe, large desk, television, large bookshelf and foldaway bed.

3,000,000 key money. 250,000 a month rent

I've got a 1bedroom, 1 livingroom, 1kitchen, & 1 bathroom all very large except the tiny bathroom for 50,000,000 no monthly rent. I am moving in august and the people who are taking over will be paying 60,000,000.

My next place is one of those high-rise apartments. 24 pyong 3 small bedrooms, 1 medium bathroom, balcony, view, & parking. deposit 120,000,000 won no monthly rent.

Mapo and Seodaemun area. I also looked out by Hansungdae ipgu station. The hansin & hanjin apartements there are about the same price.

If you like the Hongjae are you kind find cheaper, but the traffic is a nightmare, I lived there in '97-'98 and my inlaws still do, it's wretched.

Thanks to all for your inputs, and thanks to the Beav for the specific example. It really gave me a good idea.

Please keep discussing if you'd like...
