2. Determination
A. The plaintiff alleged by the parties that the contract of this case was terminated by the declaration of termination on the ground of the above repair obligation. The defendant asserts that the contract of this case was obligated to return deposit KRW 5 million to the plaintiff, and that the defendant fulfilled all the repair obligation as a lessor.
B. In determining a lease agreement, a lessor is obligated to maintain conditions necessary for the use and profit-making of the leased object (hereinafter “leased’s duty to repair”) and the lessor is obligated to repair the leased object (Article 623 of the Civil Act). Therefore, in the event of a damage or impairment to the leased object, the lessor is not obligated to repair if it is so minor that the lessee can easily and easily repair the leased object without any separate expense, and it is not sufficient to interfere with the lessee’s use and profit-making. However, if it is not sufficient to prevent the lessee’s use and profit-making, the lessor is obligated to repair the leased object.
