What Is the Korea Lease Renewal Rejection Damages Calculator?

This calculator estimates damages for Korean residential and commercial lease renewal disputes, including renewal rejection, 5 percent rent-cap violations, and actual-residence reason violations.

The English calculator calls the same Korean lease-renewal damages function. It evaluates lease category, region, deposit, rent, area, rejection reasons, new lease cost, moving distance, rent-cap before and after values, third-party lease facts, commercial goodwill, late interest, lawyer inclusion, and negligence deduction.

Important Note

Lease renewal disputes are deadline-sensitive. Keep the contract, renewal request, landlord rejection notice, move-out proof, registry, new lease contract, brokerage receipts, and evidence of third-party lease or vacancy.

Preserved Korean Standards

  • Rent increase cap is 5 percent in the source model.
  • Renewal period damages are modeled over 24 months.
  • Civil delay interest is 5 percent, lawsuit delay interest is 12 percent, and commercial interest assumption is 6 percent where selected by the Korean logic.
  • Actual residence violation penalty reference is capped at KRW 30 million in the source constants.
  • Commercial customer-recovery period is modeled as 4 months.

Evidence Priority

For actual residence cases, evidence after move-out matters: new tenant records, sale information, vacancy status, postal records, utility use, broker listings, and resident registration facts.

For rent-cap cases, compare converted rent before and after renewal under the applicable regional conversion rate and keep proof of all payments.

FAQ

Is every renewal rejection illegal?

No. Statutory grounds such as serious arrears, unauthorized sublease, demolition or rebuild, or actual residence may justify rejection depending on proof.

Why does the calculator include moving and brokerage cost?

Illegal renewal rejection often causes practical relocation costs in addition to rent difference and consolation money.
