Korean Lease Termination Notice Generator
Auto-generate Korean lease termination notices for 4 cases with effective-date calculation under Housing Lease Protection Act.
About this tool
Korean Lease Termination Notice Generator (haeji) auto-drafts certified-mail-ready notices that cite Housing Lease Protection Act Β§6, Β§6-2, and Β§6-3. Pick one of four situations β implicit-renewal termination, renewal refusal, renewal-request right, or owner-occupy refusal β fill in the parties, term, and rent, and the tool produces (1) the notice body with statutory citations, (2) the effective date (3 months after receipt), (3) an automatic 5% rent-cap warning when exercising the renewal right, (4) a step-by-step certified-mail guide for Korea Post / e-Post, and (5) PDF / text downloads. The 6-to-2-month exercise window is shown as a D-Day countdown, and all inputs stay in your browser.
Use cases
Scenario 1
Tenant terminating an implicit renewal
A tenant who decides to move out after the lease has implicitly renewed sends a termination notice; the tool computes the date β 3 months after receipt β when the lease ends and the deposit must be returned.
Scenario 2
Landlord refusal for owner-occupancy
A landlord refusing renewal on owner-occupancy grounds drafts the notice inside the 6-to-2-month window and exports supporting evidence for any later dispute.
Scenario 3
Exercising the renewal right + 5% cap
When a tenant exercises the one-time renewal right and the landlord asks for 6%, the tool flags the 5% cap violation and produces a notice stating the lawful ceiling for negotiation.
Scenario 4
Mid-term termination by mutual consent
When a tenant needs to leave early due to a job change, the tool drafts a mid-term termination letter that pre-states broker-fee responsibility β reducing disputes.

Frequently asked
- Q. When does an implicit-renewal termination take effect?
- A. Under Β§6-2, it takes effect 3 months after the landlord receives the notice. The tenant can demand the deposit back at that point. The tool computes this date automatically from the expected receipt date.
- Q. What grounds let a landlord refuse renewal?
- A. Only the 9 statutory grounds in Β§6-3 apply (e.g., 2-period rent arrears, unauthorized sublet, owner occupancy, redevelopment). Otherwise, the tenant can still exercise the renewal right despite a refusal notice.
- Q. Do I have to send a certified mail?
- A. Not legally required, but it objectively proves both delivery and content β invaluable if there is a dispute. Korea Postβs e-Post electronic certified mail is cheaper than registered mail and works 24/7.
- Q. What if I already agreed to a >5% increase at renewal?
- A. Under Β§7 / Β§7-2, anything above 5% is void and tenants can claim restitution for the over-paid amount. The tool also surfaces an unjust-enrichment claim notice template in that case.
