An Empirical Study on the Influencing Factors of Residential Satisfaction in Purchased Rental Housing : Focusing on the Case of Purchased Rental Housing in Incheon

The results of the empirical analysis showed that ‘economic factors’ were the most important influencing factors on the ‘residential satisfaction’ of purchased rental housing tenants. Next, ‘external housing factors’, ‘management factors’, and ‘location factors’ were analyzed to have a significant impact on ‘residential satisfaction’. However, ‘social factors’ and ‘internal housing factors’ were found to be insignificant. The policy implications are as follows: The most important variable is ‘economic factors’, which means that it is urgent for the government to provide support policies for purchased rental housing tenants who have become more burdened with housing costs due to the aftermath of COVID-19 and the recent global triple-dip recession. In addition, the importance of ‘external housing factors’ and ‘location factors’ suggests a change in the existing housing purchase process for business owners to more actively develop indicators that improve the quality of life of tenants. Finally, the importance of the “management factors” suggests that owners of new purchased rental housing also need to establish a management system to proactively respond to housing deterioration.
