Rental dispute over early termination penalty clause
My tenancy contract was made until September 2018, but I'm losing my job now. Therefore, I have to terminate my contract with a one month notice.
But the landlord is asking for two extra months rent after my eviction period also.
Please advise me about this.
Dear Questioner,
You have to read your tenancy agreement carefully and see what terms you did agree on at the time of executing the agreement.
In case the agreement states that you can terminate the agreement and regulates such termination by applying the two-month penalty, then you should pay.
However, if your signed agreement does not have such a clause, you might also be forced to pay for the full year or otherwise reach an amicable solution with the landlord.
It is very important to read the contract you sign and consult a professional before executing binding agreements.
