How should I explain heating gas costs to month-long guests in Sokcho?
Clearly state in your listing details whether gas is included in the utilities fee.
Some listings above include electricity, water, gas, and internet, while others don’t include gas.
Heating use rises in winter, so unclear terms can lead to disputes over extra charges after move-in.
① If gas isn’t included, explain how it’s billed and how much it costs in your description
② If there’s a usage limit, state the limit and how extra use is charged
③ Give the same clear answer to any inquiries before booking

③ Parking — Say if it’s free and how to register a vehicle
④ State the guest limit and rules for pets and smoking

Guests consider payment options and booking limits, too
How can I host Sokcho guests whose stay goes beyond Zigbang’s 12-week limit?
Zigbang short-term rentals allow bookings of 1–12 weeks at a time.
Stays beyond 12 weeks require a separate additional contract and the landlord’s approval.
If a month-long stay in Sokcho extends through winter and lasts more than 3 months, guests have to renew their contract every 12 weeks.
On plott LIFE, stays can be extended up to 28 weeks total (depending on the room).
Extensions are made through a new contract, after discussing them with the host in advance.
For a month-long Sokcho stay | Zigbang short-term rental | plott LIFE |
|---|
Single contract | 1–12 weeks | Varies by room |
After that | Separate contract + landlord approval | Extend with a new contract after discussing with the host |
Total stay | Must renew every 12 weeks | Up to 28 weeks (depending on the room) |
Guest payment | Pay in full upfront | Pay monthly for stays of 28+ days |

Do month-long guests prefer rooms with monthly payments?
Monthly payments reduce the amount guests need to pay at once, making month-long stays easier to afford.
For example, for an 8-week stay in a room with a rent of ₩143,000 per week and a utilities fee of ₩30,000 per week for 4+ weeks, the total is ₩1,384,000.
With one upfront payment, guests pay it all when they book. If they can pay every 4 weeks, it’s ₩692,000 per payment.
※ Example calculation for reference.
We don’t have verified data on how monthly payments affect booking conversions.
Check your payout schedule in the host registration guide.

What’s the benefit of hosting a month-long guest?
Fewer move-ins and move-outs mean less cleaning, fewer inspections, and simpler calendar management.
Here’s a comparison over 4 weeks.
With four separate 1-week guests, you’ll have up to four move-ins and move-outs, and there may be vacant days between bookings.
With one month-long guest, there’s just one move-in and move-out.
Over 4 weeks | Several 1-week guests | One month-long guest |
|---|
Move-ins and move-outs | Up to 4 | 1 |
Gaps between bookings | Possible between guests | None during the stay |
Calendar and inquiries | Manage for each booking | Handle once |
※ Example for reference.
Actual earnings vary based on the nightly rate, cleaning fee, and commission.
