The landlord right to keep security deposit for early exit from tenancy
Q: I closed a rent contract with my new tenant on 7 December and after 2 weeks she changed her mind and asked me to refund her the security deposit. She broke the contract and she is threatening me that she is going to make a complaint to RERA. She said that she couldn`t open the Ejari even though I provided her with all the necessary documents. I am not living in Dubai and couldn`t do it in my person. So I would like to know if I am entitled to any compensation because she broke the contract? I refuse to give her the security deposit which was even not fully paid (only 3k). I lost the rent for a month and refused other clients as I already had a contract signed. Thank you Questions & Answers
