Moving is undoubtedly a significant life event, and amidst the chaos of packing, coordinating logistics, and bidding farewell to your old home, it's easy to overlook some essential tasks. One such crucial aspect is canceling your utilities before moving out.
This may be new as foreigners often don't know how to cancel utilities in Korea.
You'll need to cancel gas and electricity that's under your name and this can be done by finding out which company is supplying your energy and call accordingly as it will be different by city and province within Korea. Remember to provide your customer number. You'll also need to physically go to the meter and tell them the number indicated on the meter so they can provide you with the bill.
Neglecting to cancel your utilities before moving out can have various consequences, ranging from financial implications to administrative headaches. Interest will be added and accumulate on the bill which has been overdue. Not paying the bill and leaving Korea can be a problem if you decide to return to set up utilities. Therefore it's important to cancel them prior to moving out.
We understand that moving out day can be a hectic day as you'll need to get your deposit back from the landlord, cancel utilities and arrange other schedules.
