임대인 설문에 기초한 임대계약형태 선택요인 분석

초록

The current study analyzes the results of a survey of landlords regarding selection factors for different types of rental contracts. The results can be summarized through the following 3 observations. First, selection factors depend on landlords’ personal preferences. In Korea, rental contracts can be divided broadly into two types: Monthly Rent with Variable Deposit (MRVD) and Chonsei (multi-year rent paid up-front), which is a variant of MRVD. According to the survey results, most of the landlords who prefer MRVD are motivated by higher rental profits and a rental income stream that can cover living expenses. On the other hand, landlords who prefer Chonsei contracts are motivated by the leverage provided by sizable lump sums paid up-front by tenants. The second observation is that many landlords use the deposits from both MRVD and Chonsei to achieve financial leverage. The third observation is that many Chonsei landlords hope to convert their tenants to MRVD contracts, while almost all MRVD landlords want to increase the monthly rent and receiving a smaller up-front deposit. Some landlords, however, prefer Chonsei contracts because they don’t want to be exposed to tenant credit risk, i.e. overdue rent or non-payment. In logit analysis, older landlords tend to choose MRVD rental contracts and can be distinguished by their conspicuous preference for this rental type. In multiple regression analysis, other variables being held equal, MRVD landlords tend to lower required deposits and increase monthly rents as the difference between their yearly income and mortgage balance increases. Because this study does not use a sufficiently large sample size, these results cannot be extrapolated, however.
