Ulsan Real Estate Attorney Assistance | Won a Deposit Return Lawsuit

The client entered into a lease because a job transfer required a new place to stay, but after living there for two years, the client returned to the original residence.

The client explained that three months before the lease expired, they notified the landlord, A, of the intention not to renew the contract, and A replied that this was understood.

However, once the lease end date passed, A neither returned the deposit nor answered any calls.

The client felt anxious but endured it at first and tried to reach the landlord several times, yet the landlord remained unresponsive until two months had passed after the lease ended.

Having finally decided to resolve the matter legally, the client sought an Ulsan real estate attorney for legal assistance.

The client clearly notified A three months before the lease ended that there was no intention to extend the contract, and this was also preserved in a text message.

The attorney gathered this evidence and submitted it to the court, emphasizing that the client had expressed the intention to terminate the contract at a lawful time and in a proper manner.

As explained earlier, the client expressed the intention to refuse renewal three months before the lease ended, and because the contract term passed with the lessor aware of this, the contract was lawfully terminated.

The attorney emphasized that because the lease had been completely terminated as a matter of law, the lessor bore the obligation to return the deposit.

The lessor answered the client's calls well in the beginning but suddenly stopped responding once the time came to return the deposit.

The attorney argued that the court should take into account that the lessor was maliciously and deliberately avoiding contact despite bearing the obligation to return the deposit.

As shown here, in a deposit return lawsuit it is very important to carefully prepare the documentary evidence that arose during the lease term and to establish it clearly.

The other party's breach of legal obligations, such as the return of the deposit, must also be clearly asserted through the evidence.

To build legal persuasiveness in this process, receiving assistance from an attorney with both expertise and experience in the relevant field can be helpful.
