2. According to the above facts of recognition, the lease of this case terminated to the expiration date.

As such, the lessor of the lease of this case is obligated to return the lease deposit to the Plaintiff.

However, as to who is liable for return, Article 3(3) of the Housing Lease Protection Act provides that the assignee of a rental house (hereinafter “rental house”) which is the object of a lease meeting the requirements for counterclaim as stipulated in Article 3(1) of the same Act shall be deemed to have succeeded to the status of a lessor. Thus, it shall be deemed that the legal obligatory succession provisions apply to the transfer of a rental house. As such, if a rental house is transferred, the transferee succeeds to the entire rights and obligations of a lessor under a lease contract in combination with the ownership of a house, and as a result, the transferee is exempted from the obligation to return a lease deposit, and the transferor is against the lessee by withdrawing from the lease relationship.
