Q

Is the apartment maintenance fee included in my rent in Korea?

A

No. Rent (jeonse deposit or monthly wolse) and the maintenance fee are billed separately. The management office issues the maintenance invoice each month, while rent goes to your landlord. Always budget for both, since a large apartment or officetel fee can add 100,000-300,000 KRW monthly.
