Publication of Jeonse System Report

KB Financial Group released a report titled ¡°Structural Risks of the ¡®Jeonse¡¯ System and Policy Recommendations¡± on June 18. Jeonse is a long-term rent with lump-sum deposit in Korea. 

The report pointed out problems in the Jeonse system and proposes systemic improvements.

The report found out four structural risks of the Jeonse system — the phenomenon of the reverse Jeonse phenomenon in which a Jeonse deposit accounts for a large proportion of home purchase funds, resulting in rental deposits being higher than home prices when the housing market declines the possibility of capital-free gap investment, in which a landlord can purchase a home with only a rental deposit because a Jeonse contract can be signed at the same time as a home purchase contract tenants being exposed to the risk of non-return of Jeonse deposits from the beginning of their Jeonse contracts as they cannot check whether their landlords are in arrears with taxes or have good credit ratings and Jeonse loans for housing stability actually increasing Jeonse prices and becoming a means of gap investment, which fuels housing market price volatility.

As for improvement measures, the report suggests improving the financial system and strengthening guarantee insurance related to the Jeonse system, providing landlords¡¯ credit information and expanding companies¡¯ house lease business.
