Someone from al-asmakh insisted me to take up a year lease instead of 6 months. And told me it will be a month's rent penalty if I leave the country, but in my case I am not going to leave the country, I will need a bigger house that time.

Please ask them to write this caluse in the tenant-landlord contract.

BTW,is it an one bedroom apartment AT Mushreib area beside babyshop?

Cheers
