Obligation of the renter and the landlord to fulfill the contract


393

A: A house owner should fulfill the terms of the contract with the tenant, in accordance with the legitimate conditions they had agreed upon or the customary ones, during the term of the contract, as Allah says, O you who believe! Fulfil (your) obligations. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Muslims should stick to their conditions, except the ones which make lawful things unlawful and unlawful things lawful. When the term of the contract comes to an end, and both parties want to renew the contract, each of them should fulfill their obligations towards the other party as previously mentioned. If the owner refuses to renew the contract, the tenant should leave the house, and not harm the owner by staying there. A Muslim's money should not be taken unless willingly. (Part No. 15; Page No. 114) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
