Dear Questioner,

Thanks for contacting.

Usually tenants here in the UAE issue post-dated cheques towards future rent.

Even if at a later stage you don't want to proceed with the tenancy you can go for the termination of tenancy and return of cheques based on the termination clause and return of cheques as per the tenancy contract provides.

If you need further clarification, kindly contact us.
