Medians are for new leases, which is what a new tenant pays. They leave out likely public rentals. Renewals usually cost less, so the “All contracts” figure includes them for comparison. Typical size is the median exclusive floor area of the monthly-rent contracts. “Too few” means fewer than 10 contracts.

The closer a deposit is to the home’s value, the less is left to repay it if prices fall or the landlord has other debts. Check the specific home before you pay.

See jobs in KoreaThese are reported contracts from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (국토교통부) open data APIs, as of 2026-11-05. Monthly rent (월세) and jeonse (전세) cover apartments, officetels, and villas or row houses. Sale prices cover apartments. Cancelled sales are excluded.
Contracts can be reported weeks after signing, so the newest month here is September 2026: the last month with at least 30 days of reports after it ended.
Headline medians use new leases only. About half of reported contracts are renewals. Renewals usually cost less than a new lease, so including them would understate what a new tenant pays. Headline medians also leave out contracts that look like public or subsidized rentals (LH, SH and youth housing): rent and deposit together under 40% of the area’s middle value per m² that month. The source does not mark these, so this is our estimate.
Each median mixes every size and building that was reported that month. A change from one month to the next can come from a different mix of homes, not a change in prices. These are past contracts, not homes you can rent today.
