Reasons

If the settlor of chonsegwon delays the return of the deposit money pursuant to Article 318 of the Civil Act, he may request an auction of the object of the right to lease on a deposit basis, or there is no right to request an auction (see Supreme Court Order 91Ma256, 257, Mar. 10, 1992). In such a case, the person having chonsegwon cannot request an auction of the whole building beyond the part which was the object of the right to lease on a deposit basis because the part which was the object of the right to lease on a deposit basis cannot be divided into an independent object because of its structural stability or independence in its use, and therefore, it cannot be deemed otherwise because the application for auction of the part only is impossible.

Thus, the request for auction on the whole building cannot be allowed because there is a circumstance that the other
