Real Estate Lawyer | Attorney, thank you for the clear answer.

The circumstances of how the client came to the Real Estate Lawyer

The client who came to the Real Estate Lawyer, having not gotten back their deposit due to a jeonse fraud, resolved on a lawsuit and requested assistance from a real estate specialist lawyer who had handled numerous real estate lawsuits.

The client, about 2 years earlier, had decided to make a jeonse contract for a house, but was troubled by the high right to collateral security.

The broker who saw this persuaded the client by saying they would insert a special clause stating that, even if the contract expired, the client's deposit would be responsibly fulfilled by the brokerage office.

However, 2 years later, even though the contract period had ended, the lessor did not return the client's deposit.

Accordingly, the client resolved on a deposit return lawsuit and requested assistance from the Real Estate Lawyer.

As a result of the Real Estate Lawyer's assistance, “full return”

The Real Estate Lawyer argued that, despite the client having hesitated over the contract, the broker who had concluded the contract through the special clause also bore liability for damages.

In addition, they emphasized that the client had expressed their intent to move out 3 months before the contract and had sent content-certified mail, yet the lessor's failure to return the deposit meant there was no intent to return it.

The court, having heard the Real Estate Lawyer's arguments, rendered a judgment that the lessor and the broker jointly return the full amount of the deposit.

At Daeryun Law Firm, lawyers who have handled numerous real estate cases form a TF and establish a strategy to assist the client through related precedents and legal analysis.

If you have become involved in a jeonse fraud as in the client's story, please request assistance from the Real Estate Lawyer at the earliest possible time.
