I was worried I wouldn’t get my Samsam M2 deposit back in full
It’s normal to start worrying as your contract comes to an end.
“I didn’t do anything wrong—what if they deduct from my deposit?”
“I don’t even know the deduction rules. Being told afterward would feel so unfair.”
Deposit deductions aren’t made on a whim—they only happen for clear reasons.
Here’s a quick guide to when Samsam M2 deposits are actually deducted and what to check during the return process.
Are there set rules for Samsam M2 deposit deductions?
Yes. Deductions only apply for obvious reasons that go beyond normal use.
① Damage to the property or facilities
If furniture, appliances, wallpaper, etc. are damaged beyond normal wear, repair or restoration costs may be deducted.
② Breach of contract terms
Unauthorized subletting, exceeding the allowed number of occupants, or other contract violations can be grounds for deductions.
③ Principle: no deduction if you used the place normally and moved out properly
If you lived normally and left without damage or violations, the deposit is, in principle, fully refundable.
What if my deposit isn’t returned?
If you don’t agree with the deduction, first gather evidence like photos or videos and contact customer support.
The exact deduction calculation and appeal process can vary by listing and situation, so having proof when you ask is the best approach.
How do Samsam M2 and plott LIFE differ on deposit deductions?
Both platforms follow a similar rule: deductions only for clear damage or violations.
