South Korea's Supreme Court Rules Landlords Owe Damages for Renewal-Period Re-Renting

Original: Supreme Court: "Landlords Must Pay Damages if They Re-Rent During the Renewal Period, Even After Living There for Over a Year"

South Korea's Supreme Court has ruled that landlords who re-rent their property during the contract renewal period must pay damages, even if they lived in the unit themselves for over a year beforehand. The decision limits landlords' ability to avoid renewal obligations by claiming personal use, and is drawing attention from tenants and landlords weighing its impact on rental and jeonse agreements.

Why now: The ruling reshapes landlord and tenant rights under Korea's rent renewal rules, affecting millions of rental contracts.
