    What is up with the high deposit in comparison to the lower rent? Is the deposit a security deposit you get back when you move out? In NYC the rent is crazy high but the security deposit is usually just one month’s rent and you get the deposit $ back when you move out as long as you didn’t wreck the place

    • @itsjinakim
      @itsjinakim  3 года назад +210

      Yes, you can get it back when the contract is over. Just in case, sometimes we use some insurance companies when the deposit is huge. For my case, it's cheaper compared to other places, so I didn't do it. In Korea, there is this concept Jeonsae, which means big amount of cash deposit and 0 rent. And the crazy thing is selling price is almost the same with this Jeonsae price. So it's really different here. If you are Korean, you can get a loan for the deposit but it's usually up to 80% of deposit if you are very lucky. So in my situation, the only option was this lol

      to add to what jina said, i've heard that the high deposit for wolsae and stuff incase say like something happens like a pandemic and you are out of work or you can't pay your rent because something happened, you can use. your security deposit to cover it. i've also heard landlords will use huge deposits for investments. i will say, i think i prefer the high key deposit if that means my rent will be cheaper. i live in nj and the rent is getting as high as nyc and it's to a point people have to work 2-3 jobs just to pay rent.

      @@susancatherine4569 yeah, i’m planning to move and have been looking into it and found that out. also found out from a korean friend to definitely make sure i go with a korean person who’s familiar with the housing market/real estate in korea to decrease the chances of getting scammed.
      but it is interesting when you look at how it is here. especially when you dive into the price of utilities and the monthly maintenance fee also added to your rent.

    Honestly, I think this video is absolutely wonderful and amazing for a number of reasons. People need to hear from motivated people like you to understand that no matter what their rhythm is, it's alright to live by it. I think this video is wonderful not only in terms of information but also some people will look at this and think "Hey it's alright if I move out later on in life, it's fine if I start small, if Jina can just at her pace then so can I." Very, very inspiring and helpful, I'm absolutely delighted you made this video! Keep on the good work 🖤

    with that prices $500-$600 USD you can rent a Full house in Latinoamérica (in medium-poverty areas or regular places)
    In country like PR-Puerto Rico. and $400 or more less you can rent a big studio or a mini spacious apartment with bath and kitchen and 2 room). and often include all household goods except when they are houses (it would be rare for the house to have all that).

    The big deposit is interesting. In Australia where I live if you rent a place it’s usually 2-4 times the rent that is put down as a deposit or as we call it the ‘bond’. The bond is then returned to you when you leave as long as the place is in good condition. If there’s any damage etc the bond is used to pay for it.

    Good luck with the moving Jina. Would be cool to see how you arrange the move with the moving company and perhaps some tips not to get scammed. Love your channel.

    We don't have that high deposit like in Korea but mostly you have to pay 3 monthly rents in advance.
    Monthly rent will be in Berlin similiar ~
