After once being told my jeonse deposit could not be returned until a new tenant was found, I closely read Chapter 2, “Move Quickly,” and learned how to document a refusal to renew.

Protect Your Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposits ![Deokbang Yeonguso rental-deposit book](https://img.superchart.com/images/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab-01-1pt7w-1200.webp) Today, a book review for the first time in ages! I read Deokbang Yeonguso’s Protect Your Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposits. With jeonse deposits rising recently, news about jeonse fraud is all too common, and I think the worries of jeonse tenants (including me) are growing by the day. Before moving into my current home, I was told that my jeonse deposit could not be returned until a new tenant was found, haha. I was seriously scrambling to find one myself. I went to Suwon and came back because the dates did not work out... Honestly, even thinking about that time gives me a headache. I think lots of people, not just me, get stressed during the process of getting their deposits back, and this book is essential as a preventive measure for them. ## Unboxing Deokbang Yeonguso’s Protect Your Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposits arrived quickly as soon as I ordered it! ![The arrived rental-deposit book](https://img.superchart.com/images/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab-02-k3wnx-900.webp) Do books come packaged this beautifully these days~~?

Deokbang Yeonguso is already a channel I subscribe to! ![Introduction to Deokbang Yeonguso real-estate information](https://img.superchart.com/images/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab-06-1wf1u-966.webp) ![Deokbang Yeonguso jeonse deposit information](https://img.superchart.com/images/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab-07-mmtt6-900.webp) Deokbang Yeonguso is a YouTuber who explains real-estate basics in an easy-to-understand way, sharing tips for protecting deposits from scams involving apartments, villas, one-room homes, and officetels. With victims of jeonse scams soaring these days, this is someone we absolutely need, haha. ## “Move Quickly,” the section of the table of contents I read closely ![Table of contents of the rental-deposit book](https://img.superchart.com/images/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab-08-1itth-900.webp) The part I personally read most closely was Chapter 2, “Move Quickly.” I read this chapter diligently, thinking that I could have acted more quickly if I had known this information. ![Contents of the “Move Quickly” chapter](https://img.superchart.com/images/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab-09-17er9-900.webp) ![Page covering procedures for responding to a deposit issue](https://img.superchart.com/images/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab-10-17zo8-900.webp) (Even thinking back on it, it was so absurd, haha.) It lays out very clearly what I should do when I am told to wait until a new tenant is found. One new thing I learned was that I already knew about giving notice that I would not renew, but even if you send proof by text message or KakaoTalk, it is safer to receive a text or KakaoTalk reply agreeing to the non-renewal. It also details what to do if there is no reply afterward, but please refer to the book for the specifics! I used to think jeonse fraud had nothing to do with me, but then I nearly had trouble receiving my money on time.... Since then, I have once again realized just how important prevention really is. > There is no such thing as a completely safe jeonse deposit, so tenants, young people just starting out in society, and newlyweds—please be sure to read Protect Your Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposits! ## Products - Deokbang Yeonguso Protect Your Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposits — Deokbang Yeonguso - 온라인 판매처 — 원문에 구매 링크가 안내되어 있습니다. --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@corner-booth/deposit-protection-book-deokbanglab/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
