The structure and the layout of the tenancy contract should be unambiguous from the owner’s side and the tenant’s side as well. Both parties must agree on all points of the contract with a nice mutual consensus. An apparent contract contains many things like terms and conditions from both sides mentioned because it will help both sides in the future to resolve any dispute. These obligations might be located by the property owner and some requirements might be raised by the tenant if the tenant thinks that he/she may have to get out early, he/she should need a “Break Clause” to be added to the contract otherwise the tenant shall remain legally responsible for all rent payments whether he/she is using the property or not, on the other hand, be alert that it is very rare for property-owners to agree on a break clause because it means that they will have to find out a new tenant after a specific period.
