RJ Corp. filed the complaint against Young Jun Cho.
RJ Corp., through attorney Edward C. Arriola, is asking the court to award them judgment against the defendant as follows — damages in the sum of $122,080 for non-payment of rent as of the date of this complaint; for further damages for non-payment of rent after the date of this complaint; for further damages to be proven at trial; for cancellation of the lease agreement and restoring plaintiff to the possession of the premises; for reasonable attorney’s fees; for cost of suit; and for other relief to which the plaintiff is entitled to receive.
The plaintiff stated that the defendant entered into a lease agreement with him to lease a three-story apartment building containing an area of 900 square meters.
The lease agreement stated that the defendant will pay the plaintiff a total of $229,500 for the entire period, at the sum of $1,500 a month from April 1 to August 1, 2008.
The defendant must then pay $100,000 on Sept. 1, 2008 and $1,500 a month from Oct. 1, 2008 to July 1, 2009.
The lease agreement also stated that from Aug. 1, 2009 to Feb. 1, 2010, the defendant will pay the plaintiff $1,000 a month.
The defendant will then make a final payment of $100,000 on March 1, 2010.
However, the plaintiff said the defendant defaulted on the lease agreement and failed to pay $1,500 a month from July 2008 to Jan. 2009.
The plaintiff sent a delinquent lease rent payment letter to the defendant on Oct. 20, 2008 notifying the defendant of his delinquency in payment, but the defendant failed to respond to the letter.
The plaintiff again sent another demand letter on Nov. 22 last year through mail but it was unclaimed.
