The statute cannot tell you how often the right is used. The rental filing data can, because it carries the answer as a field.

The lowest was 3.79% and the highest 5.78%. On a KRW 100 million loan that is KRW 1.99 million a year.

The conversion cap is the lower of 10% a year and the base rate plus 2 points. At a 2.75% base rate in August 2026, that is 4.75%.

Delivery and resident registration create opposing power; a fixed-date stamp adds priority repayment. And the statute says you cannot be repaid unless you hand the property over.

The small-deposit thresholds this article had long left open are now filled from the Decree. In Seoul deposits up to ₩165m qualify and ₩55m comes first — but where several tenants share a building, that sum is divided proportionally.

For a two-home owner the jeonse threshold is ₩1.2 billion, not ₩300 million. The Act sets only a floor and delegates the figure; the Decree puts it at ₩1.2 billion — a provision inserted only last year.
