But these days, there is no guarantee that monthly rent is safe either—so this revised edition includes monthly rentals too. It is a textbook for protecting jeonse and monthly-rental deposits!! 📖 The book is under 270 pages and divided into three parts. Even though Edding does not read books much, it took me under three hours to finish! 🕒 ![Book contents organized into three parts](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-06-18vwq-966.webp) It explains things in easy-to-read sentences and easy-to-understand words, so even someone clueless about real estate can read it!

Deokbang Research Institute started appearing in my mysterious algorithm haha 🤣 *Protect Your Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposits* has three parts!! ![Three parts of the jeonse and monthly-rental deposit book](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-10-1cxri-900.webp) ### PART 1. Please Give Me Back My Deposit ![Please Give Me Back My Deposit section](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-11-y23qr-900.webp) ### PART 2. Jeonse Fraud: You Are Not an Exception ![Jeonse fraud cases section](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-12-r4dy1-900.webp) ### PART 3. A Jeonse Fraud Prevention Guide for First-Time Home Renters It is divided into these three parts!! ![Jeonse fraud prevention guide for first-time home renters](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-13-1qxxf-900.webp) Starting with PART 1, it honestly felt scary because I thought this could happen to Edding and Shwan, too, as newlyweds. ![Jeonse fraud content that resonated with newlyweds](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-14-ygd3o-900.webp) Imagine saving diligently for four or five years to get married and move into a jeonse home, only to face the bolt-from-the-blue situation of not being able to get your deposit back later... How devastating would that be? ![Situation of being unable to recover a jeonse deposit](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-15-72uxq-900.webp) ![Image about a jeonse deposit problem](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-16-jobee-900.webp) Not to mention the helplessness and stress... The book shows what happens afterward, and I realized that this is not a problem solved simply by doing the real-estate contract right. ![Image covering what happens after a real-estate contract](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-17-65vzb-900.webp) ![Book covering deposit-problem cases](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-18-1xkh5-900.webp) I meant to read only halfway through PART 1, but before I knew it, I had read an entire chapter...!! I was so absorbed that I completely lost track of time! ![Book read with focused attention through an entire chapter](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-19-vjxb4-900.webp) ## Easy-to-miss points when signing for a home And when signing for a home, it is so important to find not only a good landlord but also a good licensed real-estate agent! ![Importance of landlords and licensed real-estate agents](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-20-1fvz2-900.webp) There are several cases in the book. For example, the landlord wanted a monthly-rent contract, but the agent later listed it as jeonse, took the jeonse deposit from the tenant, and disappeared midway through... ![Cases involving monthly-rent and jeonse contracts](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-21-lyc58-900.webp) These are real-estate transactions that offer no guarantee they cannot happen to me, so I could not help reading closely! If the seed money I worked so hard to save disappeared all at once like this... who could compensate for that helplessness?!!! ![Book covering real-estate transaction risks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-22-1tgee-900.webp) As I read, I found tips for preventing jeonse and monthly-rental deposit fraud—things nobody teaches you in everyday life but that you absolutely need to know to get by. I truly recommend reading it!! ![Content on preventing jeonse and monthly-rental deposit fraud](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-23-18vec-900.webp) And! When you go to look at a property later, make sure—!!—to bring a family member or acquaintance along! And do not rush into a preliminary contract!! It also teaches basic things that are easy to overlook on site, so there was so much I needed to store away in my head! ![Precautions for property visits and preliminary contracts](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-24-6hw4b-900.webp) And it is not over even after you move in! I really want to recommend this book to all the little chicks who lived under their mom's wing until their early to mid-20s!! 🐤 It is a book that will surely help someday in life—highly, highly recommended!! Especially... young professionals... please read it...!!! 👍🏻 ## Products - Deokbang Research Institute Protect Your Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposits, 270 pages — Deokbang Yeonguso --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@open-basket/jeonse-wolse-deposit-guidebook-d57f/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
