Qatar is still undecided on how much it will allow landlords to raise rents after its current rent cap expired this month, the Qatar News Agency reported, citing the Minister of Municipal Affairs & Agriculture.
Qatar's cabinet is expected to lower a cap on rent increases that landlords can charge by three percentage points to 7%, newspapers reported last week.
The rental cap is scheduled to be discussed by cabinet and, in the meantime, no landlord is allowed to increase rents on contracts signed until the cabinet decision is made, QNA reported, citing Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Khalifa al-Thani.
the question is how many of us are willing to take the landlord to court? then again how many of us have actually won a court case against a landlord?
exactly Andrew... since when the law here is enforced and follow by the landlord??? i mean for some people they are fully educated and aware of the issue but some, naaa i dont think so. But we all need to keep complain to right chanel and until the law implemented.
Everybody is right and Everybody is wrong, its depend where you stand
What does it matter what the law says? The landlords will continue to raise rents by however much they want.
Who honestly expects this, or any similar law, to have the smallest amount of difference to rental prices?
Our landlord increased 20% for our new contract effective APR and our bldg is 8 years old tsk tsk after the 10% law they abused us again
