Can I cancel after paying on Samsam M2? — Must-check before signing

When you're rushing to book a place, it's easy to think:

"I'll just pay now and decide later."

"It's not a handwritten signature, so maybe I can still cancel."

On Samsam M2, payment finalizes the contract immediately.
So there are a few things you must check before you pay.
Below is a short checklist and plott LIFE's cancellation & refund policy so you can feel secure even after signing.


Why be cautious when paying on Samsam M2?

Can I cancel after paying on Samsam M2?

Yes, you can cancel, but because the contract is already binding, cancellation fees may apply.
Samsam M2 completes the contract as soon as you pay—there's no separate deposit-only stage or unsigned phase.
So it's accurate to think of the moment you click pay as the contract signing moment.

Cancellation fees vary by listing

Each host on Samsam M2 sets their own cancellation fee rate.
That means Samsam M2 doesn't have a single fixed percentage for all listings.
From checked cases, cancelling 15+ days before move-in is typically 10–20%, 8–14 days is 30–50%, 1–7 days is 50–70%, and same-day or later often isn’t refundable.
Always check the refund policy on the listing page before paying for the exact rate.


Checklist before you pay

① Check the listing's cancellation & refund rules (fee rates)
② Make sure the agreed contract period/options in chat match the contract
③ If you need a cash receipt or tax invoice, check if the host is a registered business
④ Check deposit return conditions and possible deductions

Reviewing just these four items before paying will cut down a lot of surprises after signing.
