Letting in Seoul
Rules and licensing
Foreign tourist urban homestay registration is required, and hosts must generally be resident in the property. Letting an entire unlicensed flat is not permitted.
Tourist tax
No separate tourist tax; VAT applies.
How the year is shaped
April to June and September to November are the peaks, matching the comfortable weather. The summer monsoon and deep winter are quieter.
Who books here
Younger travellers on short stays, heavily concentrated near Hongdae, Myeongdong and Gangnam. Subway proximity is the dominant rate factor.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
