My old school manager is telling me that my old apartment building owner if I don't pay, he will go to immigration and try to sue me for remaining costs.

They've already taken my 600,000 deposit, but the apartment owner is a terrible individual and is trying to charge me more. I did not cause anything close to 600,000 in damages, but he's trying to screw me out of more money.

Is there anything I should be worried about? Will immigration care?

Any information would be helpful, I'm a bit worried this idiot could make things hectic for me.

Brief KAKAO convo between me and my old manager seen below:

What's the damage and the total amount that the landlord is claiming? And most importantly, who signed the lease agreement?

The company took care of everything for me, they just showed me the rules to the building when I moved in.

They already took 600,000, but he's claiming like 400,000 more.

They are full of bluster.

You have no legal responsibility to the landlord since you didn't sign the lease or agree to rent the premises.

It is a civil matter of less than 5 million - immigration won't care.
