Lucky day · Tap a date to set it as your moving day.
Lucky days fall on lunar dates ending in 9 or 0 (9th, 10th, 19th, 20th, 29th, 30th). Demand peaks then, so prices rise and slots fill early; other weekdays are usually cheaper.

Move or sign up for internet and TV
Installation slots can take 1–2 weeks. If you're still under contract, request a transfer; otherwise compare new sign-up offers.

Book move-in cleaning
The day before or the morning of the move works best. Spring, autumn and month-ends book up early.

Defect inspection (new apartment)
For a new apartment, find defects during the pre-move-in inspection and file them with photos. You can also hire an inspector.

Arrange gas, electricity and water
City gas needs a booked visit to disconnect and reconnect. Photograph the electricity and water meters on moving day to make settling up easy.

Book small repairs
Lights, taps, door locks, screens and TV mounting are easiest before the furniture arrives.

Report the lease
Leases with a deposit over ₩60M or rent over ₩300K a month must be reported within 30 days of signing (capital area, metropolitan cities, Sejong, Jeju and cities in provinces). Reporting also gives you a fixed date.

Register your new address
Required within 14 days of moving (Resident Registration Act). Tenants should register and get a fixed date on moving day so the deposit is protected from 0:00 the next day.
