Jeonse Fraud Lawyer Case | Lease Dispute Defense, Full Claim of Approximately KRW 90 Million Granted

The client moved four years ago, signed a lease, and came to live in a villa.

At the two-year mark, the contract was renewed implicitly and the client lived there for four years, but with marriage approaching, the client decided not to extend the contract further and notified the lessor of the intent to terminate the contract within an appropriate period.

However, although the lessor at first answered as if the deposit would be returned without issue, when the contract end date actually approached, the lessor did not return the deposit and would not take calls.

In the end, after the contract ended, the client vacated the home and moved out, but as the lessor continued not to return the deposit, the client decided to take legal action and came to a jeonse fraud attorney to obtain assistance.

The procedure for a lease deposit lawsuit is as follows.

If you become involved in a 🔗lease dispute of this kind, much of it requires specialized expertise, so it is advisable to obtain help from an attorney with extensive experience in related matters.

The jeonse attorney emphasized that the client had informed the lessor three months before the contract expired that he had no intention of renewing the contract, and that the lessor had also sent a reply to this.

To prove this, the attorney submitted as evidence the text messages the client had sent and the call records, emphasizing that the notice of intent to terminate the contract had been given at a lawful time.

After the contract ended, the client moved out in accordance with the contract, and in legal terms, the return of the leased object was completed normally.

Accordingly, the jeonse attorney emphasized that an obligation had arisen for the lessor to return the deposit, and argued that the lessor was not fulfilling that obligation.

When the client entered into the lease for the building, the client had taken out a lease loan to raise the deposit, so having failed to recover the deposit, the client was also unable to resolve the loan.

The lease attorney emphasized that the client was suffering secondary harm without any fault, and asked the court to render its judgment taking this economic situation into account.

As in the client’s situation, if you cannot recover the deposit even though the lease has ended, and a conciliation with the lessor is also difficult, resolving the matter through litigation is the most certain method.

However, a lease deposit lawsuit requires caution, because the matters to be reviewed in advance and the evidence to be secured are extensive, and the direction of the argument may vary accordingly.

At the Daeryun Law Firm, based on broad experience in various types of real estate litigation, including lease disputes, responses tailored to the client’s situation are provided.
