Need Legal Advice
I just need some legal advice about this case of ours.
We moved in this Complex in Wakra last year,.and we signed a 1 year contract of living there and paying the monthly rent of 7,000 QR for the flat. But after 3 months of living there, we decided to move in Doha because school classes started and school buses won't pick my brother & sister up that far. This Complex said that we can't leave the flat until the contract is finished or we'll pay for it until the end of the contract even we're not living in there.
So, we just decided to move in Doha and just find someone who'll live there until contract finished.
It took us 3 months to find someone.,but we're still paying the rent that whole 3months even there's no one living there.
But those who rented our flat there left after 2 months.
And we're forced to pay the remaining months just to finish the contract, and we did finished paying.
Now, it's been 8 months since the contract was finished, and the tenant there suddenly called us to meet.
He said we have 8-month unpaid bill for that flat in Wakra.
He said we didn't cancelled the contract that's why it wasn't officially finish so we have to pay those 8 months that actually no one's using the flat.
Now,they said they'll sue us if we didn't pay.
But i think it's not reasonable to pay after finishing the contract..
Please give kind advice about this..if we really have to pay..what's wrong and right..

Contact a lawyer. We had similar case and we won in the court of law. Only one month notice rent was deceided to be paid. I could't understand the full details of your case but don't pay anything to owner without the consultation of lawyer. If you find difficult to find a good lawyer plz PM me i will give you the number of the lawyer who won our case.
watever be the clause
the fact remains he did not care to inform u about the rent without ur staying there
this is a clear case of TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A PERSON
it is simple the guy is taking u for a ride
be careful
simply consult a lawyer
if possible except 1 month rent u can even get the rest of ur money back
and dont get intimidated
he is definetly fooling with u
wat was he doing for 8 months
sleeping?!!!
immedeatly consult a lawyer or an experienced person in ur office or friends.
Unless you notified the landlord in writing within a certain time period that you were not renewing the lease it is considered automatically renewed. Sorry!

@re.ward
I presume you are a person without any mistakes.
did you issue Post dated checks in paying this? if in your contract is only one yr and you were able to finish it, even without cancelling it's automatically finished.he cannot sue you if you did not issue checks after the contract.he can only sue you if you have issued checks and has no funds.Goodluck, hope this helps
