The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei answered a question about ” Full Deposit instead of Paying Rent “.
Question: We have rented a house by depositing a large amount of money without paying any rent. However, after doing so I realized that it is not valid. What can I do to correct it?
Answer: If the landlord – regardless of the previous contract – is satisfied with you using the house, you have no obligation. Otherwise, you are liable to pay the rent of a similar house for the past. For the future, you must conclude a new contract.
