If this guy is saying the landlord [i'>may[/i'> and the landlord [i'>might[/i'> it sounds like he has not actually spoken with him and is just talking without actually doing anything.
I extended my contract for 3 months without any problems and I know someone else who did this twice but 2 times is the maximum amount (our rental company) will allow.
At one point I wanted to leave and had 6 months left on the contract. I was told that what would happen is they would keep the cheques ( as they were already deposited with the bank) but sublet so to speak and the new tenant would pay in cash for the six months and I would be given that money. This was all above board as it was from the landlords property management office. They may be willing to do this but I suppose it will depend on how easy it is for them to find another tenant.

We have lived in our flat for 2 years and want to extend for 6 months rather than 1 year. This is because we are completing on a flat and the tenant moves out in late January.
Our contract is registered with Ejari.
I spoke to the LL's property manager and he said initially 'no problem' but now he is staying the LL may not agree and we might have to move out in Sept.... I don't think he can do this as he is not giving us sufficient notice (i.e. 1 year!) but at the same time we don't want to sign up for another year!
I am still negotiating (well he shouts at me and I try to stay calm and balanced!).
Has anyone extended for a period shorter than 1 year and got any negotiating tips?! Thanks in advance :)
