Landlord who lost 200 million won in tenant's key money deposit and stock investments, and refuses to sell or take out a loan

Netizens criticized the landlord who was 고민ing about a solution after the tenant lost their jeonse deposit in stock investments.

According to an online community on the 25th, a post titled "Please advise on a debt of 180 million won" is being shared. The post was written by Mr. A, who has verified that he works at an automobile company.

Mr. A said, "I owe my tenant 180 million won, but I lost all that money due to bad stock investments, and I received a message from the tenant saying I need to move out after getting married." He asked, "Please tell me a realistic way to avoid legal issues, and I will compensate accordingly."

Then, he complained, "Or should I honestly tell the tenant and say I'll pay little by little once I receive my salary, and hope to be forgiven?" and "Can I receive at least 100 million won as a performance bonus this year? If I don't get it, I will really go bankrupt."

Netizens generally advised taking out a loan through commercial banks. However, Mr. A recently found it difficult to obtain a loan and refused, saying he would be harmed if interest payments were incurred. He also firmly rejected the suggestion to sell his house.

One netizen expressed his astonishment, saying, "If you dislike this and that, just get a certified letter and hand over the house auction. By then, you'll probably need a loan." In response, Mr. A appealed, saying, "Please tell me how to avoid that."

Another netizen advised, "The best option is to take out a lease termination loan to return the deposit and use it as a guarantee for the next tenant. If you don't take out a loan at all, there's no answer," and added, "Once the tenant registers their lease rights, you're heading for disaster. You won't be able to rent to the next tenant, so you'll have to go through forced auction."

In addition, harsh criticisms poured in such as "It's just asking to be misunderstood as a lease scam," "If you don't want to go to jail by handing over a house at a low price, taking out a loan is the answer," "You don't want to lose money by paying interest, but are tenants supposed to suffer losses?" "What kind of mindset is this?" "Having money for a deposit is a luxury," and "Isn't this just a concept?"

Mr. A explained, "It's not that I won't pay the deposit. When I go to court, I say 'I had no intention of not paying,' and I get acquitted," adding, "I'm not trying to avoid it, I just can't pay now because I don't have the money; if I had it, I would have paid."
