Hi to all.. My lease contract for a flat is due to expire next month, is there any requirement in the qatar housing law of providing a notice to my landlord that I will not renew the lease contract? Thanks for any information regarding this matter.

It depends on your contract, some contracts contain an auto-renewal phrase if no contract termination is announced 1 or two months ahead.

Not really no. Your landlord has had 12 months notice as to when the lease will expire. However, if your landlord is Qatari, then you should remain cautious as you well know the odds are stacked against you. Remember he can do whatever he wants and get away with it simply because it is his country and you are a second class resident with no absolutely rights.I would advise him regardless and hope and pray that he returns your deposit if he is holding it. Also make sure your car is parked out of sight to avoid finding scratches down the side.Good luck.
