    Can a Landlord or Tenant unilaterally terminate a valid lease contract?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A valid Lease Contract cannot be unilaterally terminated by either the Landlord or the Tenant during its term. Termination is only legally permissible through mutual consent of both parties or in accordance with specific cases outlined in the law. If a party wishes to end the lease early without the other's agreement, they must demonstrate legal grounds, such as a breach of contract or an eviction case defined by Law No. (33) of 2008. This protects the integrity of the signed agreement and ensures market stability.
