[Client Case at Kim & Rhee Law Office]
Our client, a U.S. permanent resident, was residing in the United States.
Several years ago, before leaving Korea, the client rented out a residential property inherited from their parents.
Since the client was unable to manage the property in person, relatives occasionally checked on it.
One day, the client’s sibling mentioned that the property appeared to be in poor condition.
The client briefly returned to Korea and discovered that the tenants had damaged the house and were living there without carrying out necessary repairs.
The client immediately notified the tenants of the lease termination and requested that they vacate.
However, the tenants ignored the notice and continued to occupy the house unlawfully.
The client sought help from Kim & Rhee Law Office.
Our attorney carefully reviewed the case.
Since the client was abroad and did not have sufficient documentation, we collected the necessary evidence within Korea.
Based on this, we developed a comprehensive legal strategy for the eviction lawsuit.
Before initiating the main litigation, we also filed a preliminary injunction to prohibit the transfer of possession, ensuring the effectiveness of the forthcoming eviction action.
During the lawsuit, we successfully proved that the lease had been terminated and that the tenants had been duly notified.
We also held the tenants accountable for the damage to the property and filed a claim for damages.
Clear Communication, No Matter the Time Zone
We maintained consistent communication with the client throughout the case.
Thanks to our 24/7 support, we were able to bridge the time difference and ensure seamless updates.
Understanding that Korean law may be unfamiliar to clients living abroad, our attorney took care to explain every step of the process clearly and thoroughly.
