What to check

Check the contract holder and the actual person responsible for paying electricity, city gas, water, district heating, and maintenance fees (관리비).
For each supplier, check whether bills, meters, automatic transfer (자동이체), virtual accounts (가상계좌), and card payment are available.
When you move, you may need to settle move-in/move-out charges (전입·전출 정산) and change the name on the contract (명의변경).
Check late fees, power/water cutoffs (단전·단수), deposits, and responsibility for unpaid maintenance fees against the contract and the supplier's terms.
