Housing is one of the most important factors determining the quality of rural life. Housing condition in rural area has been deteriorating over the past years in spite of many rural development programs. Korean government formulated 'Rural Housing Environment Improving Plan' including rural rent-house program in 2006. This study aims to find the fundamental intension of rural people for adopting the rent-house system in rural area. To do this, background and current state of rural rent-house program are presented and the demand for rural rent-house is analyzed based on the survey results done by Korea Rural Community Corporation in 2005. Major findings from the survey analysis imply that the size/age/ownership of the current houses and the age of householders, motive and time period of current residing, and components of households are significant factors when considering whether they are willing to apply rural rent-house.
