Review Your Tenancy Agreement Once More And Look For Any Exit Clauses

We at ajmanproperties.ae provide all the information you need about terminating your tenancy agreement in Ajman before its expiration date and your rights as a tenant. For a less complicated exit, follow these steps.

  • What should you do if you unexpectedly relocate or leave the country but your lease is still in effect?
  • Do you forfeit the money you spent on your property? Or can you get it back somehow?

Examine Your Contract

Now that you know the legal implications of your choice, you can review your tenancy agreement to see whether there are any exit clauses or penalties specified for breaching the contract. Unfortunately, the landlord is not legally required to let you off gently unless you have a termination clause. The next step is to speak with your landlord, hoping you two can compromise.

The Law

There is no clause for early contract termination in the Law by Ajman Municipality, which regulates the relationship between landlords and tenants; instead, the law governs the two parties' interactions if the contract is in force. Therefore, if you want to end your contract early, refrain from filing a case with Ajman Municipality, especially if your contract doesn't contain a specific clause.

Discuss With Landlord

It would be wise for you to speak with your landlord and rely on his good nature. Inform him of the circumstances and arrange a separation agreement that works for both of you. This depends on the tenancy agreement's conditions that you both agreed upon. You can either pay the fine in that instance or promise to find him a replacement before you depart, in which case he will be out of luck.

Offer Replacement

If you take it upon yourself to find a new renter before you move out, some landlords may be willing to forgive an early contract termination. If your landlord is open to negotiating, you could find him a replacement and only pay the two months' penalty rent if you cannot do so in time.
