Thus, it shall be deemed that legal obligatory succession provisions apply to the transfer of a rental house. As such, in the event that a rental house is transferred, the transferee succeeds to all the rights and obligations under the lease contract of the lessor in combination with the ownership of the house, the transferee is discharged from the obligation to return the lease deposit, and the transferor is exempted from the obligation to return the lease deposit to the lessee by withdrawing from the lease relationship (see Supreme Court Decision 2011Da49523, Jan. 17, 2013). The Plaintiff is exempted from the obligation to return the lease deposit (see Supreme Court Decision 2011Da49523, Jul. 14, 2017).

On the other hand, if the plaintiff proves that he/she has raised an objection within the extended period from the date when he/she became aware of the above transfer, he/she may restrain the defendant from immunity.
