Actually, its a leagal form of looting. Becoz, it will be rented by some other party, and will have another income.

Lease contracts, (even if it indicates that the tenant has to pay the uncompleted period when leaving), if that contract has not attested by a competent authority (Baladia, I guess), that term is void and all other terms therein.

On the other hand, any contract is binding between to parties involved (whether it is attested or not). I mean, if you agree in the begining, why you want to evade?

Yes it can be legal. As long as it is indicated in the contract that you have signed with the owner. If it is, then you have no choice but to abide. Almost all apartments and villas have the same policy here in qatar. IT serves as their protection from loss of profit when someone goes.
