What is a diplomatic clause?

Officially, the term diplomatic clause is used for the article in a tenancy agreement stipulating that the landlord is temporarily letting out their own home and will take up residence in it again after the end of the tenancy agreement. However, in the rental property market the term is also used for a clause that gives the tenant the right to terminate a tenancy agreement prematurely if there are urgent job-related reasons for doing so or in the event of circumstances beyond the tenant’s control.
