What is a leasehold registration order?

Article 3-3 of the Housing Lease Protection Act (leasehold registration order)If the lease deposit has not been returned after the lease has ended, the tenant may apply for a leasehold registration order with the district court, branch court, or city/county court having jurisdiction over the location of the leased residence.

Article 6 of the Commercial Building Lease Protection Act (leasehold registration order)If the lease deposit has not been returned after the lease has ended, the tenant may apply for a leasehold registration order with the district court, branch court, or city/county court having jurisdiction over the location of the leased commercial building.

If a tenant moves out without receiving the lease deposit back, the tenant may lose enforceability against third parties and priority repayment rights.

A leasehold registration order is a court-ordered procedure that registers the tenant’s leasehold right so that enforceability and priority repayment rights can be preserved.

2

When is a leasehold registration order necessary?

First: To preserve enforceability and priority repayment rights before moving out

  • When a residential lease has ended but the tenant must move to a new residence before receiving the deposit back
  • When a commercial lease has ended but the tenant must relocate to another commercial space before receiving the deposit back

Second: To apply for lease deposit return guarantee insurance

  • When HUG, HF, SGI, or another guarantee institution requires a leasehold registration order before paying insurance proceeds
  • When a bank that provided a jeonse loan or deposit loan requires a leasehold registration order for loan extension
  • When another financial institution requires documents related to a leasehold registration order

Third: To pressure the landlord and recover the lease deposit

  • When the tenant does not want to continue paying rent while the deposit remains unpaid
  • When the tenant must move out and cannot wait until a new tenant is found
  • When the landlord refuses to return the deposit without any valid reason
  • When a dispute with the landlord has already arisen

What is the leasehold registration process?

Step One: Confirm whether the requirements are satisfied before applying

  • Whether the lease term has ended
  • Whether notice of termination was given to the landlord
  • How much deposit must be returned
  • Who the current landlord is
  • What priority ranking you will have after the leasehold registration order

Step Two: Prepare the leasehold registration order application for court submission

  • Confirm the court with jurisdiction
  • Prepare required documents
  • Leasehold registration order application
  • Copy of the lease agreement
  • Resident registration certificate or abstract
  • Real estate registry certificate
  • Documents proving lease termination
  • Proof of payment of application-related fees
  • Information to include in the application
  • Landlord and tenant information
  • Description of the property
  • Deposit amount
  • Lease term
  • Fixed date
  • Proof that the deposit has not been returned
  • Proof that the lease has ended

Step Three: Court decision and completion of registration

  • Court review of the application and issuance of the leasehold registration order
  • Court request to the registry office for registration based on the decision
  • Confirmation that the leasehold registration has been completed

Step Four: Follow-up action to recover the lease deposit

  • File a lease deposit return lawsuit if there is no guarantee insurance
  • Continue the process until final recovery of the lease deposit
