Word origin

In 押一付三 (yāyīfùsān, "one-month deposit plus three months of rent"), 押 (yā, "hold as security") + 一 (yī, "one") marks the deposit, while 付 (fù, "pay") + 三 (sān, "three") marks the prepaid rent.

Usage tips

  • Rental advertisements can change either number, so the figures describe the terms of one lease rather than a fixed rule.
