Tenant's Rights and Priorities in Lease Disputes

Tenants facing issues with landlords not returning deposits must avoid moving or changing address without proper documentation.

### Dealing with Landlords and Jeonse Deposits: A Tenant's Guide
Rising interest rates are causing difficulties for property investors, leading to cases of reverse jeonse, while tenants may benefit from decreased jeonse prices and landlords covering interest payments. Tenants should be aware that landlords cannot reject their refusal to renew a lease, and they have the right to request the deposit back when moving out, regardless of the landlord's situation. It's important for tenants to communicate with their new landlord and come to a mutual agreement when facing unexpected deposit payment issues.

### Dealing with a Landlord's Mortgage on a Leased Property
The tenant is pressured to pay the full security deposit or risk voiding the contract, but manages to gather the remaining balance and move in. Later, they discover that the property is being auctioned due to the landlord's mortgage, putting their situation at risk. The tenant, as a creditor, may have a property right against third parties under the Housing Lease Protection Act, allowing them to assert their rights in the auction process.

### Tenant Rights and Housing Lease Protection Act
Tenants gain rights against third parties the day after receiving the housing and completing resident registration. Simply receiving the keys is enough to acquire this right. Failing to file a change of residence will result in the deposit not being protected under the Housing Lease Protection Act, affecting the tenant's priority repayment rights. The tenant can claim the deposit's return from the landlord once the lease ends, but does not have priority repayment rights in the case of an auction or public sale of the house.

### Understanding Priority Exemption Rights for Tenants Under the Housing Lease Protection Act
Tenants have the right to priority repayment of their deposit under the Housing Lease Protection Act, based on three conditions: opposition requirements met, confirmed date on the lease contract, and meeting the delivery and residence registration requirements. The effectiveness of these requirements is crucial, as moving out or handing over the property before the auction process is completed can result in the loss of the right to preferential payment. By maintaining the right of priority, tenants can ensure priority repayment, even in the case of a mortgage establishment and auction process, emphasizing the importance of not losing this right.

### Maintaining Possession of a House When Moving Out
You can leave your belongings in the house and move out without receiving the full deposit to maintain possession. Take photos of the belongings left behind for documentation. 
Another method is to apply for a rental rights registration order before registering your new address when you have to move. By completing the application, the right of priority and defense can be maintained, even if you move and report your new residence, according to Article 3-3 of the Housing Lease Protection Act.

### Maintaining Leasehold Rights: What You Need to Know
Acquiring the right of defense and priority in advance ensures their continuity, even if you have to move to a different residence. The completion of the leasehold registration results in the recording of various details in the registry, including the lease deposit amount and possession dates. It's crucial to wait for the rental rights to be registered before filing a change of address, to avoid any complications in the process.
