What does 보증금 mean in this sentence?

보증금 means a security deposit for a rental.

In Korean housing, the deposit is often a very important part of the contract, sometimes much larger than what English speakers expect. So when someone says 보증금이 낮다, they mean the deposit is low or the required deposit is not very high.

Why is 낮다 used with 보증금?

낮다 means to be low, and it is commonly used for things like:

• prices
• numbers
• levels
• fees
• deposits

So 보증금이 낮다 literally means the deposit is low.

A native English speaker might expect something like small, but Korean usually uses 낮다 for amounts or levels like this.

For comparison:

• 가격이 낮다 = the price is low
• 월세가 낮다 = the monthly rent is low
• 보증금이 낮다 = the deposit is low
