Failing to serve a notice before the expiry of tenancy contract

Hi,

My flat contract will end on Jan.14.2020. I went to the office of real estate last December 3 and I was told I will pay for 3 months as a penalty since I have not complied with the 60 days' notice period.

I have been living in this flat for 3 years and they are not giving a discount and all other residential flats here in Al Barsha are going down except for my current building.

The difference is really big if we are talking about a 2 bedroom flat. I was advised to renew and extend for 3 months. But I really want to move out.

Please advise me.

Dear questioner,

As a general rule, it is the duty of the tenant to inform the landlord at least 60 days in advance of his intention to vacate the property.

Kindly contact us on the phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.

Hello.

First of all, you must check your Tenancy Contract conditions regarding contract termination and vacating the property.

If you think any deductions are unlawful and do not correspond conditions of your Tenancy Contract, you may file a complaint in RDC.
