How can I move out of an apartment without liability if the owner is not doing maintenance?

We have 6 months to mature the contract. From the starting date, the building owner is not doing any maintenance, and wastewater is coming inside the house.

I want to cancel the contract and move to some other building. I have a child, how can I handle the owner?

I'm from Sharjah.

Dear,

You may refer to the terms of the Ejari Contract whether there is a clause regarding early moving out, notice period, and so on.

Depending on the terms of the contract, you may need to notify the tenant 30, 60, or 90 days before moving out, or pay x months of rent.

You may also check for clauses regarding maintenance responsibility by the tenant and if there is such, file a complaint with RDC.

Kind regards,

KHA Advocates
