How do I start short-term renting an apartment on SamSam M2?

Many consider short-term rentals when they have an extra room or don’t want an apartment sitting empty.

“I’ve seen officetels and studios listed—can apartments be listed too?”

“I don’t know what to check first to register.”

Apartments are multi-unit housing, so there are a few extra things to confirm compared with studios or officetels.
Below is a quick guide to what to check before listing an apartment on SamSam M2.

How are apartment short-term rentals different from regular studios?

Can I list an apartment on SamSam M2?

Yes. But since apartments have building-wide rules, some conditions aren’t decided by an individual host.

Why are there more things to check?

Officetels and studios are usually individually owned and contracted, so hosts can decide more freely.
By contrast, apartments have management rules that apply to the whole complex, and required steps differ by ownership type (owned, jeonse, or monthly rent).

Checklist before listing an apartment

① Check with the management office or residents’ association whether the building rules restrict short-term rentals or subleasing.
② If you’re not the owner (jeonse or monthly tenant), get the landlord’s consent to sublease.
③ Confirm whether business registration is required based on your contract type and rental scale.
④ Verify exact registration steps and required documents via the Host Center or Customer Support for the latest rules.

These four items are especially important because of the apartment’s shared-housing nature.

Why confirm landlord consent for subleasing?

If you want to list an apartment you rent on jeonse or monthly terms, proceeding without the landlord’s consent can breach your lease.
If you’re a tenant, it’s safest to get consent first.

Do I have to register as a business to rent an apartment short-term?

Whether you need business registration depends on rental scale and contract type.
It’s safest to check your situation with a tax advisor before registering.
