[English Translations for Global Clients – Success Case]

1. Case Overview

The client (plaintiff) entered into a 24-month lease agreement with the defendant (landlord) for a residential apartment site.

After fully paying the security deposit, the client moved into the apartment in 2023, but vacated it the following month, returning possession to the landlord.

Subsequently, the client sent a certified content-proof letter to the landlord, formally notifying termination of the lease pursuant to the “termination clause” explicitly stated in the contract.

2. Taelim’s Assistance

Taelim Law Firm’s attorneys argued that the termination clause in the lease was valid and enforceable.

They maintained that the lease had been lawfully terminated at the time the landlord received the client’s notice of termination in 2023.

Given the valid termination, the landlord was legally obligated to return the remaining balance of the security deposit (minus the penalty acknowledged by the client) along with delay damages for late payment.

3. Case Outcome

The court fully accepted Taelim’s arguments, ruling in favor of the plaintiff.

The judgment confirmed that the lease termination was legally valid and ordered the landlord to return the remaining deposit together with statutory delay interest to the tenant.

4. Significance of the Judgment

This ruling reaffirmed the binding force of special termination clauses in lease contracts and clarified the tenant’s right to terminate based on such provisions.

It emphasized that when a termination notice is lawfully delivered, the landlord’s obligation to refund the deposit arises immediately, and any delay incurs additional financial liability.

The case sets a clear precedent for tenants facing mid-term lease termination disputes, demonstrating that adherence to contractual terms and proper legal procedures can ensure swift protection of their rights.
