my company gave me my end of contract letter for my job last week and i advised my landlord that i will no longer continue renting the flat. He is asking me penalty of 1 and 1/2 months and 2thou QAR more so he can give me back my checks. please somebody advise me. Is there an agency here in Qatar that handles disputes like this?

Again as aak has said, the rent dispute office can guide you to what is legal and what is not and what are your rights. Take your contract with you to discuss your options with them, and also if you have any letter or other formal communications in this matter. I think they are open 7am to 1pm.

Near the Muntazah PArk, there is a rent dispute cell . Go there and file your case.
