Lease contract report — automatic fixed date

This page is machine translated from Ieumi's guide written in Korean. If the meaning is confusing, please look at the Korean original text. View original text (Korean)

After signing a housing lease, report it within 30 days. The report automatically grants the fixed date that protects your deposit.

Deadline

Reporting applies to leases above certain thresholds (as of 2026: deposit over 60m won or monthly rent over 300k won — thresholds can change). The fixed date alone is not enough — you also need the residence change report for full protection.

📍 Where to go

The local community center for the property, or the online rental reporting system

💻 Do it online

❗ What happens if you don't

Late or missing reports carry fines (up to 300k won for delay, up to 1m won for false reports), enforced since June 2025.
