1. The plaintiff's claim is dismissed.

Reasons

On May 23, 2014, the Plaintiff entered into a contract with the Defendant for the sale of the apartment house on the ground of Incheon Cheongjin-gun, Incheon, which was owned by the Plaintiff for KRW 700 million, and the Plaintiff entered into a contract for the lease of KRW 302 and 401 of the above apartment house for KRW 300 million, respectively, and the above lease contract expires on September 14, 2015. Thus, the Defendant asserts that the Plaintiff is obligated to pay the lease deposit amount of KRW 60 million to the Plaintiff, but the lessor cannot be deemed to have been obligated to return the lease deposit to the lessee prior to the termination of the lease contract. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s assertion cannot be accepted without examining other issues.
