Many Seoul rentals quietly ban pets, so the hard part isn't your budget — it's finding a landlord who allows them. Every listing here is filtered for 반려동물 가능 (pets allowed), handled by a verified, English-speaking realtor who confirms the pet policy before you view.
Yes — but pet policy is set by the individual landlord, not by law, and a large share of Seoul listings do not allow pets. That is why a dedicated, pre-filtered search saves so much time: instead of asking "is this one okay?" on every unit, you start from homes that already accept cats or dogs.
These listings have been marked 반려동물 가능 (pets allowed) by the realtor. Even so, always confirm the specifics before you sign:
Your realtor confirms all of this in writing as part of the lease.
You do not need any special permit to rent in Seoul, and pet ownership doesn't change the paperwork. For the full process — deposits, 월세 vs 전세, agent fees — see how to rent in Seoul as a foreigner and the current cost of renting in Seoul.
Browse the pet-friendly listings above — each is handled by a verified, English-speaking realtor who confirms the pet policy, deposit and 관리비 before you commit, so there are no surprises on move-in day.
Yes. Foreigners can rent any apartment in Seoul without a special permit, and owning a pet does not change the process. The only thing to confirm is the landlord's pet policy, which the listings here are pre-filtered for and your realtor verifies in writing.
It depends on the landlord — there is no city-wide rule. Many Seoul rentals do not allow pets, so it is worth searching listings that are specifically marked 반려동물 가능 (pets allowed) rather than asking unit by unit.
Usually not, but some landlords ask for a slightly higher deposit or specific cleaning terms. Any such condition is agreed up front and written into the lease, so you know the full cost before signing.
Officetels are central and move-in ready but compact; furnished rentals suit shorter stays; apartments and villas offer more space and nearby green areas for walks. Filter by what matters most to you and your pet.
