2. Determination
A. The Plaintiff, as to Defendant B’s liability for damages, asserted that Defendant B did not repair the instant store with knowledge that the number of water leakages could not be available to the instant store, and that Defendant B did not perform its repair duty because it did not repair the instant store even after the instant water leakage occurred.
First, the scope of Defendant B’s repair obligation is examined.
Article 623 of the Civil Act provides, “The lessor is obligated to deliver the object to the lessee and to maintain the conditions necessary for the use and taking profits of the leased object during the duration of the contract.”
Where an object has been damaged or hindered, if it is not repaired, the lessee shall be prevented from taking advantage of and making profits from such object according to the purpose determined by the contract.
