How to get out of your tenancy contract

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <h2 style="text-align: left;"> How to get out of your tenancy contract</h2> <div> <div> A signed tenancy contract in the emirate is not unbreakable and either party, the tenant or landlord, has the right to cancel it early.</div> <div>   </div> <div> 1) Try to come to a negotiated agreement with the landlord. You might have to pay a fee to terminate a contract early, but in most cases this is the quickest resolution.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 2) If that does not work, file a complaint with the Rent Committee at the Land Department. You will require your tenancy contract, a valid passport and, if applicable, a trade licence.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> 3) You will then be given a date for your hearing with the Rent Committee. The case could be heard months after the complaint is filed.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> "Sometimes a tenant's circumstances change in that either they lose their jobs or are unhappy with living at the location," said Ludmila Yamalova, a property lawyer.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdYw9DnSZNPWLz18PxqMO4h3qOVVKF1eolJWBnSQtk5Ozf6up1WFQBtEBCB2Z4Aun5AG566u6J_z7nrJ4WDlxWneOdqhcSYD_nPw3kFOMnenTo20bwas-rS3LTEuRrFbOEvYEeOm6qoYo/s1600/How+to+get+out+of+your+tenancy+contract.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="rent in dubai, sale in dubai, buy villa in dubai, rent villa in dubai,rent apartment in dubai, rent office dubai" border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdYw9DnSZNPWLz18PxqMO4h3qOVVKF1eolJWBnSQtk5Ozf6up1WFQBtEBCB2Z4Aun5AG566u6J_z7nrJ4WDlxWneOdqhcSYD_nPw3kFOMnenTo20bwas-rS3LTEuRrFbOEvYEeOm6qoYo/s320/How+to+get+out+of+your+tenancy+contract.jpg" title="How to get out of your tenancy contract" width="320" /></a></div> <div> "There are avenues available to people if they want to go down that route and get out of the contract."</div> <div> Ms Yamalova advises tenants to come to an agreement with their landlord before taking the matter to the Land Department, located on Baniyas Road in Deira.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> "This is probably the quickest way of doing it, but the tenant should be prepared to pay a penalty for cancelling the contract early. "If this fails, then my advice would be to take the matter to the Rent Committee, but be prepared for it to take a couple of months to be resolved at the earliest."</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Once a complaint has been filed with the committee, both parties will be given a date for a hearing. The committee's proceedings are in Arabic and although you do not have to appoint a lawyer to present your case, Ms Yamalova said most people do.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> "The Rent Committee also has the power to renew or extend a tenancy contract if the tenant so wishes," she said.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Source: www.thenational.ae</div> </div> <div> <br /></div> </div>
