Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for reaching out to me on this.

I am assuming you have a one year lease and rightly so, given notice regarding your wish to not renew the contract.

The fact that the landlord did not see or reply to your email is irrelevant. You did your job by intimating to the landlord.

If your landlord is not releasing your security deposit cheque or claiming more money, I suggest you file a dispute before the Sharjah Rent Dispute Committee.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana
