預あずけ金きん

noun

deposit; key money

Money deposited as security or earnest money, often in rental agreements or financial contexts. The term 'key money' is a common translation but can be misleading; it refers to a deposit rather than a non-refundable gift.

• アパートを借かりるときに預あずけ金きんを払はらった。

  I paid a deposit when renting the apartment.

• 預あずけ金きんは契けい約やく終しゅう了りょう後ごに返へん金きんされる。

  The deposit is refunded after the contract ends.
