Anyang Attorney's Office Assistance | Full Recovery of the Lease Deposit With the Assistance of the Anyang Attorney's Office

The client entered into a lease agreement with the landlord and resided in the apartment in question.

As the expiration of the lease term approached, the client, who had been residing there, notified the landlord of the termination of the lease agreement.

The landlord, however, made excuses and refused to terminate the agreement.

The client therefore decided to pursue a deposit return lawsuit in order to recover the lease deposit, and requested the assistance of the Anyang attorney's office.

The Anyang attorney's office explained the matter with respect to 🔗lease disputes.

If a dispute arises between a landlord and a tenant, it can be resolved through a deposit return lawsuit.

A tenant acquires the right to claim the return of the deposit upon the termination of the lease agreement.

The client sought to file a lawsuit against the landlord who did not return the deposit.

The statutes relating to leases are as follows.

▶ Housing Lease Protection Act, Article 3-2 (Recovery of the Deposit)
If a tenant applies for an auction of the leased house pursuant to a final judgment in a deposit return lawsuit or any other title of execution equivalent thereto, the performance of a counter-obligation or the provision of such performance shall not be a requirement for commencing execution, notwithstanding Article 41 of the Civil Execution Act concerning the requirements for commencing execution.

▶ Housing Lease Protection Act, Article 3-3 (Order to Register the Lease)
If the deposit is not returned after the lease ends, the tenant may apply for an order to register the lease to the district court, the branch of the district court, or the city or county court having jurisdiction over the location of the leased house.

The landlord has an obligation to return the deposit to the tenant upon the termination of the lease agreement.

The landlord, however, did not return the deposit to the client without justifiable reason.

The Anyang attorney's office therefore argued that the landlord should return the full deposit in accordance with the agreement.

The Anyang attorney's office submitted the record of communications between the client and the landlord.

Starting several months before the end of the agreement, the client informed the landlord by text message and telephone that there was no intention to extend the lease agreement.

The client expressed the intention to refuse renewal on several occasions thereafter, but did not receive the return of the deposit.

The office therefore emphasized the efforts the client had made to recover the deposit.

The client who requested the assistance of the Anyang attorney's office prevailed in the deposit return lawsuit and was able to recover the full deposit.

A tenant should send certified mail to demand the return of the deposit, and if the landlord still does not return the deposit, legal action is necessary.

The Anyang attorney works in collaboration with attorneys located throughout the country and provides solutions tailored to each client through in-person meetings and real-time video conferences.
