Go to your embassy .
Have someone knowing Arabic read you contract or take it to one of those shops that do the translation. If you are leaving then you can tell them that and also let them know you don't have the money to pay them. If they still insist you may approach the Rental Disputes Office located very near to Holiday Villas and they may assist you.
what does your rental contract say ? most for one year expect you to pay for the whole year .... unless your RP is cancelled and you leave the country. You are lucky to have a choice to stay or go .... many don't
