If you lose your job in Dubai, can you exit your rental contract without paying the penalty?

Under Dubai tenancy laws, including Law No. 26 of 2007 (as amended by Law No. 33 of 2008), a lease contract cannot be terminated unilaterally by the tenant during its term—even in cases like job loss—unless there is mutual agreement with the landlord or a court order; this means you can request early termination on humanitarian grounds, but any waiver or reduction of the typical penalty (often two months’ rent) depends entirely on the landlord’s consent, as contracts remain legally binding under Federal Law No. 5 of 1985 unless both parties agree otherwise. Do you think landlords should be more flexible in such situations, or should contracts be strictly enforced regardless of personal circumstances?
