1.
Living 'off-Post' in Korea
| |
What do you do if you are a member who is
moving off-post for the first time ?
 |
2.
How to pay the Monthly Rent
| 1) |
we recommend singing up for a savings account
with one of Nations Community Bank and USA
Federal Credit Union. Then start an allotment
to the account for the rental amount. |
|
|
| 2) |
Every first of the month, the money will go
into that local account. Withdraw that money
to pay
the landlord. |
|
|
3.
Things to look for before you sign the Lease
| 1) |
Make sure you use the same lease form provided
by the housing office. It includes protective
clauses for the military members. |
|
|
| 2) |
Make sure to list any repairs and services
that you want on the lease. |
|
|
| 3) |
You would probably want cable service and
all your utilities included in the rent. |
|
|
4.
Members who are renewing Leases
| 1) |
Personnel are required to pay rent to the
landlord monthly, instead of paying the whole
rental amount for the duration of the lease. |
|
|
| 2) |
Check the per diemmm committee's link(below)
to find your ceiling for your pay grade.
Our area code is "KS040"
Overseas Housing Allowances
(OHA)
|
|
|
| 3) |
Personnel are required to sign the lease in
Won in order to protect themselves from fluctuations
in currency exchange rate. Rental ceiling
will change according to the exchange rate
and the economy. |
|

5.
Check Cashing
| |
Cashing personal or U.S. Treasury checks in
large amount has been a problem here in Korea.
AAFES/PX provides limited amount check cashing
services. Personal checks are limited to $300.00/day
and U.S. Government checks are limited to
$500.00/day.
Nations Bank cashes personal checks for non-members
up $500.00/day with fees of 1 percent of the
total face value of the amount cashed; a minimum
of $100.00 requires a fees of $3.00; and no
limit is set in cashing U.S. Government check
however with a charge of $1.00 per transaction.
USA Federal Credit Union does not cash personal
checks for non-members but cashes U.S.
Government checks up to a maximum of $10,000.00
with a charge of $1.00 per transaction. |

Trash & Garbage Collection System
| |
1) All trash and garbage must be segregated
into recyclable and disposable trash.
2) Disposable trash must be placed in designated
trash collection points or bins.
3) Personnel in violation of the new policy
will be fined as follows:
A. 50,000 for trash
bags that are tied improperly.
B. 100,000 for trash
not placed in authorized bags.
C. 100,000 for trash

Trash bags may be
purchased from local markets, cigarette stores,

5) Separate collection of recyclable waste
is an effective means of reducing environmental
pollution.
Recyclable goods are divided
into five different groups: paper, glass,
scrap iron, cans and plastic.
Apartment residents put
these into the assigned collection boxes (according
to items).
Individual residents gather
recyclable items at designated places twice
every week.

or notebooks in 30cm bundles.
(Ensure
cartons are cleaned before disposing.)
* Glass - Wine, soft drinks and medicine bottles
must be cleaned before disposing.
* Scrap iron - Metal chairs, albata, stainless
steel, etc. should be collected separately.
* Cans - Cans for beer, soft drinks and powdered
milk should be compressed before disposing.
* Plastics - Detergent and shampoo containers
should be disposed only after rinsing with
water.
6) Large volume wastes such as refrigerators
and furniture, which are hard to dispose of,
should be reported
to the Sanitation
Division of the District Offices (or Dong
offices) three days before disposal.
A written notice for
the fee to be paid at the bank will be given.
The fee is determined according to the size
of the article. |
