How the Client Came to Seek a Jeonju Real Estate Attorney

The client who came to the Jeonju real estate attorney was a tenant who had entered into a lease agreement with the defendant, placing them in a tenant-landlord relationship.

The client, as the tenant, had entered into a lease agreement six months earlier with the defendant, as the landlord, moved in, and had been living there ever since.

Then, the client suddenly learned the news that the jeonse home in which the client was living would soon be put up for auction.

The client immediately contacted the defendant, as the landlord, to confirm whether this was true, and the defendant told the client not to worry, saying that he would terminate the agreement and return the deposit.

However, faced with the defendant cutting off contact and failing to return the deposit even after the agreement was terminated, the client ultimately resolved to file a deposit return lawsuit.

The client accordingly came to the Jeonju real estate attorney and requested help in preparing the deposit return lawsuit.

Deposit Return Litigation Explained by a Jeonju Real Estate Attorney

A deposit return lawsuit is a legal measure available to a tenant who, after the lease agreement ends, has not had the deposit returned by the landlord.

When a lease agreement ends, under the Housing Lease Protection Act the tenant must return the leased housing, and the landlord becomes obligated to return the deposit.

However, if the landlord does not fulfill this obligation, the tenant may file a claim for the return of the deposit against the landlord.

An important point here is that, before filing a lawsuit for the return of the lease deposit, termination of the lease agreement must take place first.

In addition, before filing the deposit return lawsuit, it is advisable first to take preliminary measures such as sending a certified content statement and applying for an order to register the lease right, in order to recover the deposit.

2. Assistance Provided by the Jeonju Real Estate Attorney

The Jeonju real estate attorney once again examined the client's lease agreement closely and then developed a case strategy so that the deposit could be recovered.

The attorney then made the following arguments.

Jeonju Real Estate Attorney, Argument That the Defendant Must Return the Deposit to the Client

The client completed the return of the leased housing upon termination of the lease agreement.

As a result, the defendant, as the landlord, also became obligated to return the deposit.

The Jeonju real estate attorney firmly argued that the defendant had not fulfilled this obligation to date.

Jeonju Real Estate Attorney, Argument That the Defendant Is Currently Out of Contact

The client contacted the defendant on several occasions to request the return of the deposit.

However, the defendant avoided the client's calls and, to this day, has not returned the deposit.

The Jeonju real estate attorney accordingly argued that the defendant had cut off contact, causing the client to suffer economic loss.

3. Result of the Jeonju Real Estate Attorney's Assistance, Winning the Case

As a result of the Jeonju real estate attorney's diligent assistance for the client, the court issued an order directing the defendant to pay the deposit together with damages for delay.

The court also ordered the defendant to bear the litigation costs.

The client repeatedly expressed gratitude to the Jeonju real estate attorney at Daeryun Law Firm, who had worked diligently on the client's lawsuit.
