> Chonsei deposits are often very large, at around 70% of house prices

> Chonsei arrangements are popular partly due to the fact that the residential mortgage market in Korea is unusually underdeveloped: mortgages have very short terms, and loan-to-value ratios generally below 40%.

> It is common for tenants to fund Chonsei deposits by borrowing from banks
