Assistance from a Mokpo Real Estate Attorney | With the Assistance of a Mokpo Real Estate Attorney, the Client Won the Real Estate Lawsuit and the Full Deposit Was Returned
The client who came to a Mokpo real estate attorney decided to pursue a real estate lawsuit against a landlord who would not return the deposit even after the lease had ended, and came to the real estate attorney at the Mokpo office.
1. How the Client Came to Seek a Mokpo Real Estate Attorney
The client consulted the real estate attorney at the Mokpo office in order to file a real estate lawsuit against a landlord who would not return the deposit.
The Client Who Requested Assistance from a Mokpo Real Estate Attorney
This is the story of the client who requested assistance from the Mokpo real estate attorney.
About a year ago, the client entered into a lease agreement and paid the full deposit to the landlord.
During the lease term, the client had a dispute with the landlord over a mold problem inside the house.
As a result of this dispute, the landlord notified the client to move out, and the client agreed, reaching an agreement to terminate the lease.
However, the landlord stated that the deposit could not be returned until a new tenant moved in, and even after several months had passed, the deposit had not been returned at all.
To recover the deposit, the client decided to pursue 🔗lease litigation and requested assistance from the Mokpo real estate attorney.
Lease-Related Statutes Explained by a Mokpo Real Estate Attorney
A tenant may pursue lease litigation against the landlord in cases where the following faults exist.
▶ Excessive claims for restoration of the property to its original condition
▶ Excessive demands for rent increases
▶ The landlord refusing to renew the contract without justifiable reason
In addition, when a lease terminates, under the contract the tenant has the obligation to return the property and the landlord has the obligation to return the deposit. The relevant statutes are as follows.
▶ Housing Lease Protection Act, Article 3-2 (Recovery of Deposit)
▶ Housing Lease Protection Act, Article 3-3 (Order to Register a Lease on a Deposit Basis)
2. Matters Handled by the Mokpo Real Estate Attorney
After conducting a consultation with the client, the Mokpo real estate attorney closely reviewed the relevant documents.
The attorney then collaborated with a specialized attorney who had extensive experience with such cases, established a strategy to secure the return of the full deposit, and provided the following assistance.
Assistance by a Mokpo Real Estate Attorney ① | Emphasizing the Termination of the Lease Agreement
The defendant demanded that the client vacate the real estate in this case, and the client accordingly relocated to another residence.
Thereafter, the client delivered the real estate by having the defendant change the door lock password.
The attorney therefore emphasized that the lease agreement in this case had been terminated by mutual consent.
Assistance by a Mokpo Real Estate Attorney ② | Emphasizing the Failure to Return the Deposit
In accordance with the contract, the client fully performed the obligation to deliver the real estate to the defendant, who is the lessor.
However, the client emphasized that the defendant has still not returned the deposit to the client and has failed to perform the obligation to return it.
3. Result of the Mokpo Real Estate Attorney's Assistance: “Winning the Case”
Accepting the arguments of the Mokpo real estate attorney, the court rendered a judgment ordering the return of the deposit in full and ordered the defendant to bear the litigation costs as well.
