Utility settlement dragged things out the most for me, especially when the final gas or maintenance numbers were still being calculated after move-out. Everyone talks about cleaning disputes, but in Korea the slow boring admin can delay the deposit just as much as an actual argument. I would never hand over keys now without asking exactly when the last utility reconciliation will be finished.
