Jeonju Real Estate Specialist Attorney Case | Jeonju Real Estate Specialist Attorney Succeeds in Both Delivery of the Building and a Settlement Payment

The situation of the client who requested assistance from the Jeonju real estate specialist attorney is as follows.

The client is the owner of a building in Jeonju and the lessor who entered into a lease agreement with the defendant.

The client and the defendant entered into a lease agreement for the building in Jeonju in 2018 and renewed it through December 31, 2022.

In June 2022, six months before the end of the contract, the client indicated through a certified letter that there was no intention to renew the lease agreement any further.

After sending the certified letter, the client also gave verbal notice on several occasions that there was no intention to contract.

However, on December 31, 2022, the defendant transferred to the client, without authorization, one year's rent for the Jeonju property for 2023.

The client once again stated that there was no intention to extend and transferred the rent back.

However, even after the contract period ended, the defendant was unlawfully occupying the client's building in Jeonju and was, on the contrary, threatening the client.

The client therefore decided to bring a real estate lawsuit and came to the Jeonju real estate specialist attorney.

On the basis of the contents of that consultation, a Jeonju attorney and members with extensive experience in related cases formed a working team to respond.

The Jeonju real estate specialist attorney noted that even entering one's own building without the consent of the other party may instead result in a criminal complaint for offenses such as interference with business.

This is because, even where a tenant remains in unlawful possession after the lease period has ended, a landlord who lacks the authority for compulsory execution may instead face a complaint for unlawful conduct, intrusion upon habitation, or the like.

To achieve delivery of the building through lawful procedures, the Jeonju real estate specialist attorney reviewed the terms of the contract and secured objective evidence.

The Jeonju real estate specialist attorney argued that the client had indicated to the defendant on several occasions that there was no intention to renew the contract.

Beginning six months before the end of the contract, the client indicated on several occasions, through certified mail and verbal notice, that there was no intention to renew.

However, after the contract ended, the defendant transferred rent that had not been agreed upon, without authorization.

The Jeonju real estate specialist attorney stated that the client immediately transferred back the amount corresponding to the rent and once again conveyed that there was no intention to extend the contract.

The Jeonju real estate specialist attorney also emphasized the consideration the client had shown toward the defendant.

Although the contract period had ended, the client offered the defendant six months to wind down the business and even stated that no monthly rent would be charged during that period.

Despite this consideration from the client, the defendant instead began to threaten and insult the client.

The defendant called the client, used abusive language, and repeatedly threatened to kill the client.

The defendant even set up a funeral bier in front of the client's home and installed a banner bearing obscene remarks, causing the client serious harm to reputation and severe stress.

The case above was an instance in which the lessor decided to bring a real estate lawsuit because the tenant continued to occupy the property unlawfully even though the lessor had indicated on several occasions that there was no intention to extend the contract.

A real estate lawsuit over unlawful possession and the delivery of a building can be difficult because, even with one's own building, proceeding with an eviction without consent may instead lead to a criminal complaint.

In such a case, recovering the property through lawful procedures with the help of a real estate specialist attorney is generally the safest approach.
