thanks everyone for the response.

He is a real Sheikh and I met him in person too. He told me if I can not cope up with the maintainence I can vacate the premises. He also said that he would not refund my money.

His manager says that I can go to the court.

I spoke to a lawyer, He asked me to pay him 15000 riyals before he sends a notice and then also re assured me that he will get me back my money through the court. But the catch is that it can take anything between two and five years for the refund to come.I also have to pay him the fee for every appearance that he makes to the court and the fee for other services. The case can take long because this Sheikh might not appear in court when asked for and that would prolong the case.

My agent is suggesting that I vacate the premise and she would find me another one without taking her comission (which is peanuts compared to what I have lost on this house). But she also says that she doesn't know if I will get my money back.

I am warned against stopping the payment. I am told that I can get imprisoned for the same.

Now this is a catch 22 situation for me. I do not know what to do.
