Can the tenant avoid paying early exit penalty for rent after losing job?

We have an existing tenancy contract in Sharjah, but due to unfortunate circumstances of this pandemic, my wife and I lost our jobs.

We already paid until December. Is there a current law where we can avoid paying the penalty of 2 months if we will end the contract earlier?

Generally, modifying a contract requires the consent of both parties.

However, there are exceptional circumstances that would entitle one party to seek a modification of contractual terms.

You may call me at the office to discuss your matter further or send an email to us.
