I have a lease contract for three years and already 18 month are gone.

My contract indicates that if I terminated the contract before the fixed period i need to pay 3 month penalty.

I was told that this appplied only if I was thinking to move to another flat or house in Qatar

Now what if I resigned and my RP is getting canceled, do I still need to pay the Penalty?
Any law that support this.

As per my resignation letter my last work day is June 26,

Please help me...

Daniel.

PS: I notified my Landlord that I was leaving on april 26, and today AMy 3 he has given letter saying that I need to pay him the 3 month rent penalty.....

Contact the Rent Board. I think that if you're leaving Doha, the landlord cannot charge you a penalty.

You signed the contract, you need to pay the 3 month penalty. It does not matter the reason you are leaving. The landlord should not be penalized.
