Jeonju Civil Litigation Lawyer Case Study | Jeonju Civil Lawyer Who Secured a Full Refund of the Lease Deposit

The case background reviewed by the Jeonju civil litigation attorney is as follows.

The client and the landlord entered into a lease for a term of two years.

Three months before the end of the contract term, the client informed the landlord of an intention to decline renewal of the contract.

At first, the landlord agreed with the client's intention, and on this basis the client was preparing to move.

However, just before the end of the contract, the client received a text message from the landlord asking to postpone the deadline for returning the deposit because a new tenant had not been found, and the landlord has not returned the deposit to the client to this day.

For this reason, the client requested assistance from a Jeonju attorney with extensive experience handling many civil litigation cases in order to recover the deposit as soon as possible.

🔗A lease dispute refers to a legal dispute that arises between a lessor and a lessee based on a lease contract.

The reasons a lease dispute arises vary, but as in this case, disputes most commonly arise over the return of the deposit.

▶ Reasons for lease disputes

However, if a settlement is difficult, you may bring a claim through a 🔗lawsuit for the return of a monthly-rent deposit.

▶ Laws related to lease disputes

Three months earlier, the client had already informed the landlord of the termination of the lease and of the intention not to renew.

The landlord also sent a text message indicating agreement, and the client was preparing to move out accordingly.

Despite the expiration of the lease, however, the landlord delayed returning the deposit, and the client strongly emphasized that the deposit has still not been returned to date.

When the client first requested the return of the deposit, the landlord told the client, “I have not been able to find a new tenant, so please give me some time.”

As the landlord continued to delay and failed to return the deposit, the client sent the landlord a certified content statement seeking the return of the deposit.

In submitting the certified content statement, the Jeonju civil attorney emphasized that the landlord had already been requested to perform the obligation to return the deposit.

The client's lease ended without the client receiving the deposit back from the landlord, and the moving preparations ultimately fell through.

To reduce substantial financial loss, the client filed an application for a lease registration order, and the application was granted.

By submitting the decision on the lease registration order, the Jeonju civil attorney emphasized that the landlord was responsible for returning the deposit to the client.

The above case was one in which a client who had been unable to recover a deposit from a landlord recovered the full amount with the assistance of a Jeonju civil litigation attorney.

If a landlord does not return a deposit, before a legal dispute arises, the tenant may request an order to perform by sending a certified content document seeking the return of the deposit or by applying for a lease registration order.
