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 3.00% base rate in September 2026, that is 5.00%.

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.

In Seoul, deposits up to ₩165m get small-deposit priority and ₩55m is repaid ahead of the mortgage — two different numbers. Renewal is due two months before expiry.

The last multiplier in the deemed-rent formula — the term-deposit rate is 31 per 1,000, that is 3.1%. It was spelled out not in the Decree but in Article 23(1) of the Enforcement Rule.
