The answer

Not specifying the rent for the month of Ramadan in an annual lease contract renders it invalid (fasid); because the ignorance of part of the rent necessitates the ignorance of the remainder. Consequently, there is no need to terminate the contract since it was not valid from the outset, and a fair market rent (ajrat al-mithl) is due for the elapsed period.
