## In short

Keep Your Jeonse and Wolse Deposits Safe is a Korean rental-deposit fraud prevention book from Deokbang Yeonguso. A reader who has searched for a place to live alone explores its contents on jeonse fraud, villa and one-room contracts, and lease agreement checks. Verdict: a useful pre-contract read for first-time renters.

## Keep Your Jeonse and Wolse Deposits Safe

What worries me most these days is signing a housing contract—specifically, the deposit for the home where we live on jeonse or monthly rent. To get over the fear of jeonse fraud, which had been growing out of control for a while, I thought I’d introduce a book today.

I opened the package a little roughly, so the newspaper tore slightly. But it was wrapped in newspaper rather than plastic—such an atmospheric touch!

## A deposit-protection textbook for preventing jeonse fraud

The book I’m introducing today to help prevent jeonse fraud is Deokbang Yeonguso’s Keep Your Jeonse and Wolse Deposits Safe. Jeonse fraud has surged over the past year or two, so of course young people starting their careers and needing a home feel anxious. Monthly rent may seem safer because the deposit is lower, but high monthly rent is not easy to afford, so many people choose to raise their deposit instead.

I hope this book can help you. It is said to contain everything about responding to jeonse and monthly-rent scams that never makes the news, which is why it is also called a textbook for protecting rental deposits. I strongly recommend it to those of you just starting out in society.

## A book born from Deokbang Yeonguso

Today’s book, Keep Your Jeonse and Wolse Deposits Safe, grew out of the YouTube channel Deokbang Yeonguso. Deokbang Yeonguso is a YouTube channel where its author, a licensed real estate agent who majored in real estate and has worked in the field for nearly 10 years, began posting real estate videos.

When jeonse fraud ran rampant in the real estate field, the author uploaded a YouTube video titled “This Is How Villa Jeonse Fraud Works” to alert people to the danger. Its explosive view count showed just how many people were concerned about jeonse fraud, and the author began uploading videos to prevent jeonse fraud, monthly-rent fraud, and deposit losses. Since no one gives young people starting out this valuable information, let’s slowly start preventing jeonse fraud from today.

## Why I read the table of contents first

When I first buy a book, the very first thing I do is check the table of contents. The more difficult a book is, the more smoothly it reads when you begin with the chapter that interests you most. Then it is fine to go back and read from the beginning.

## Jeonse fraud may not be someone else’s problem

Part 1 is “Please Return My Deposit” — “A bolt from the blue! The cry of a newlywed couple in their 30s.” Even from the title, I thought it would be a heartbreaking story about the rapidly increasing jeonse fraud cases of late. When you feel the risk surrounding a jeonse deposit that you thought was safe, it is hard to focus on your work, and it is upsetting that more and more people are going through this.

Everyone thinks their own jeonse deposit will be safe, but it is suddenly frightening to realize that jeonse fraud may not be someone else’s problem. There are so many cases where the end of a jeonse lease is just around the corner but the landlord does not return the deposit, or suddenly stops answering calls, and tenants ask what they can do.

“It won’t happen to me” is exactly how jeonse fraud feels. In Keep Your Jeonse and Wolse Deposits Safe, Part 2 begins: “Jeonse Fraud: You Are No Exception — The Game Was Already Set.” It is easy to think, surely it will not be me.

The schemes behind jeonse fraud that targets tenants’ deposits are already in place, yet many people are victimized because they do not know the details. Let’s put prevention into practice from today through reading Deokbang Yeonguso’s book.

## What to check when finding a villa or one-room

Villas are the buildings most commonly associated with jeonse fraud. The book also lays out tips for finding a villa efficiently, so if you have no choice but to move into one, you cannot overlook these points, right? There are many things that are difficult to think through alone, so isn’t it great that it explains even these details?

## A pre-contract guide for first-time renters

The final Part 3 is made up of content for beginners. “A Jeonse Fraud Prevention Guide for First-Time Renters — First-Time Renters, Check This Before Signing.” Since I started living on my own too, it was not easy to research every single thing I needed to check. But those worries are over now!

When people think of jeonse fraud, most probably think of villas. But did you know that scams are happening elsewhere too? One-room jeonse fraud is also quite common, in the very places young people starting out live most often.

Rather than visiting a potential place to live alone when there is still so much you do and do not know, it is best to go with family or an acquaintance. First-time renters naturally lack know-how for viewing homes, and when they see an advertised listing, contact the real estate office, and go see it, there can be quite a few things they miss. Licensed real estate agents show homes to several clients a day as part of their job, so you need to recognize that they may present a home in the best possible light.

Now you know that the lease agreement is the most important part of the place you worked so hard to choose, right? You should proceed only after carefully checking the special clauses in the contract, and make sure there are no errors or unfair terms.

I have introduced Deokbang Yeonguso’s Keep Your Jeonse and Wolse Deposits Safe for young people starting their careers who are looking for a jeonse or monthly-rent home for a new beginning. Since I have looked for a place to live alone too, there were many difficult parts, and I kept thinking about how it might have been if I had read this book first. I hope you all find a home safely.
