HELP PLEASE - Early Lease Termination

Dan Gainham
By Dan Gainham

Hi All,

My company is relocating me to Muscat/Oman in March and i therefore have to cancel my housing lease early. In my contract there is nothing mentioned about early lease cancellation but when I signed, the property management company did say that a 2 month cancellation penalty charge may be required.

Does anyone know if i will need to pay this charge? Does Qatar Law cover this? If so, what does it say? I cannot find anything :-(.

I have informed the landlord that I am leaving and I have given him a letter from my employer confirming that they are relocating me. I am now waiting to here back from them.

If anyone has any advice it would be highly appreciated! Please respond on this forum or message me directly.

Many Thanks,

Danny

The letter from your company wherein mentioning your relocation details is enough proof and might be considered by the landlord, considering you are giving the landlord a month notice before cancellation of Tenancy Contract.
