B. Determination 1) Where a lease contract is implicitly renewed, the lessee may notify the lessor of the termination at any time, and the termination becomes effective upon the expiration of three months from the date when the lessor was notified of the termination (Article 6-2(2) of the Housing Lease Protection Act). The Plaintiff, the lessor, notified the Defendant, who was the lessor of the termination of the contract on June 15, 2020. The Defendant received the notification around that time, and thus, the termination becomes effective on September 20, 2020.

Since the lease contract was terminated as above, the lessor is obligated to return the deposit amount of KRW 75,00,000 to the Plaintiff as the lessee.

2. Determination on the claim for damages for delay

B. In doing so, the lessee’s duty to specify the leased object and the duty to return the deposit amount of the lessor may be concurrently performed. Therefore, in order for the lessor to extinguish the lessor’s right of defense of simultaneous performance and to recognize the lessor’s liability for delay in the repayment of the deposit.
