2. Determination
A. According to the above facts based on the determination as to the cause of the claim, the instant lease agreement terminated on September 21, 2019 upon the expiration of the contract term.
Unless there are special circumstances, the defendant is obligated to refund the lease deposit to the plaintiff KRW 300 million.
The Plaintiff also sought payment of damages for delay from September 22, 2019, which is the day after the termination date of the instant lease agreement, for KRW 300 million. However, in order to have reasonable grounds for the Plaintiff’s claim for damages for delay of the lease deposit, the Plaintiff should be recognized to have delivered or continued to provide the instant real estate to the Defendant.
However, even after the termination of the instant lease agreement, the Plaintiff’s spouse and children continued to reside in and use the instant real estate until now.
