Qu'est-ce que Gwanlibi (관리비) — maintenance fee ?

Gwanlibi (관리비) is a monthly charge for building management — security, cleaning, elevators, and sometimes water, heating or internet. It is billed on top of rent, and officetels usually have a higher 관리비 than apartments because of their shared facilities.

Two homes with the same rent can cost very different amounts once 관리비 is included. Always ask exactly what the fee covers before signing, and factor it into your monthly budget.
