Gewerberaummietschutz in Südkorea: 10-Jahres-Verlängerung und Mietpreisbegrenzung

Das koreanische Gesetz garantiert Gewerbemietern ein 10-jähriges Verlängerungsrecht und eine Mietpreisobergrenze von 5%.

Key Protections

Protection Details
Lease renewal right Up to 10 years total from original lease
Key money protection Landlord liable if blocking tenant's key money recovery
Rent increase cap Maximum 5% per year
Fixed date certification Priority repayment from tax office
Opposing power Business registration + possession survives ownership changes

10-Year Lease Renewal Right

Tenants can demand renewal for up to 10 years from the original lease date. Landlords can only refuse in limited cases: 3+ rent defaults, unauthorized subletting, building destruction, genuine personal use need, or material breach.

Renewal requests must be made 6 months to 1 month before lease expiry.

Key Money (권리금) Protection

Key money compensates for business value — equipment, customer base, location premium.

Type Covers
Facility key money Interior, equipment, fixtures
Business key money Customer base, revenue, goodwill
Location key money Foot traffic, area premium

Landlords cannot obstruct recovery by refusing successor contracts without cause, imposing unreasonable conditions, or contracting with third parties while ignoring the tenant's successor. Violations result in liability for the full key money amount.

Rent Cap: Maximum 5% Per Year

Situation Cap Applies?
Lease renewal Yes — 5% cap
Initial contract No — free negotiation
After 10 years No — free negotiation
Tacit renewal Yes — existing terms maintained

Common Disputes

Dispute Response
Renewal refusal Demand proof of genuine personal use intent
Key money obstruction Sue for damages equal to key money
Excessive rent increase File for mediation
Deposit non-return Lease registration order + lawsuit
