The defendant shall pay to the plaintiff KRW 249,000,000.
Costs of lawsuit shall be borne by the defendant.
Paragraph (1) may be provisionally executed.
Reasons
1. On May 10, 2018, the Plaintiff entered into a lease agreement with respect to C, D, and the second floor F of the building Geumcheon-gu Seoul, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, with the lease deposit of KRW 249 million and the term of lease from May 30, 2018 to May 29, 2020 (24 months).
(hereinafter “instant lease agreement”). The Plaintiff paid the lease deposit to C and D, received the instant real estate, and received the fixed date on May 23, 2018 after the moving-in report was completed.
The Defendant purchased the instant real estate from C and D on April 20, 2018, and completed the registration of ownership transfer on September 21, 2018, and succeeded to the lessor status of the instant lease agreement.
On February 10, 2020, the Plaintiff sent a content-certified mail to the Defendant that he/she had no intent to renew the lease contract.
Therefore, since the lease contract of this case was terminated upon the expiration of the contract term, the defendant is obligated to return the lease deposit amount of KRW 249 million to the plaintiff.
