Is the tenant obliged to extend tenancy for one month to meet the notice requirement?
In my tenancy contract I have this clause:
"If the tenant intends to vacate or renew the tenancy on the expiry date, he/she agrees to give the landlord at least ninety (90) days written notice.
a) Renewal should be signed and the rental cheque has to be paid 1 month before expiry, otherwise, the landlord has the right to find a new tenant."
I gave the landlord notice 60 days prior to the expiry date. Now he is asking for a penalty of one month from me or extending the contract for 1 month with an additional one-month payment.
However, in the clause, I don't see any reference to such a penalty. The only written sub-clause is that renewal should be signed one month before expiry, otherwise, he can find another tenant.
I want to leave the last day of the contract, therefore I don't have any issue with him finding another tenant afterwards.
Based on the above, is he eligible to get a penalty?
Kind Regards,

عزيزي السائل،
يرجى ملاحظة أنه يتعين عليك اتباع الشروط والأحكام الواردة في عقدك.
وبالتالي، إذا كان العقد الخاص بك ينص على أنه يتعين عليك تقديم إشعار مدته تسعين يومًا، فإنه يجب عليك القيام بذلك.
في هذه المرحلة، نقترح عليك تمديد عقد الإيجار الخاص بك لفترة إضافية مدتها شهر واحد لتجنب هذه الغرامة.
