Hi everyone, I could really use some advice on a rental situation.

I signed a tenancy contract with my landlord starting 1st January 2026 until 2027. Previously, we had always done the contract through an agent, and under those agreements I was able to vacate by giving 2 months’ notice.

This time, the landlord handled the contract directly. I was under the impression that the terms were the same as before, including the ability to leave with 2 months’ notice. However, the contract apparently includes a clause stating that early termination is only allowed in “exceptional and unforeseen circumstances.”

Last Friday, I messaged her asking to give 2 months’ notice to vacate. After that, she sent me an angry voice note saying this is unfair, that I cannot leave, and that she may involve a lawyer.

Another issue is that when signing, I only received a physical (green) copy of the contract. She mentioned there’s a “new process” and a new version of the contract, but I haven’t received or signed anything else yet — so I don’t even have a proper PDF copy to review.

For context, my situation has changed recently — I’ve had a pay cut and also changed jobs about a month ago, which has made commuting much more difficult and expensive.

I’ve contacted Sharjah Municipality and they told me to reach out to Tasheel. My first step is to get a proper copy of the contract and review it carefully.

My questions:

• Would my situation (pay cut + job/location change) count as “exceptional circumstances”?
• Does it matter legally that I don’t have a full signed copy/PDF of the contract?
• Can the landlord actually stop me from leaving if I give notice?
• What should I do next?

Any advice would really help — thank you!
