Rent complaints on the rise

The Rental Dispute Resolving Committee plans to open a new satellite office within Doha to cope with a rising number of complaints, an official said yesterday.
The committee, whose office is located next to the Muntazah Park, has already identified a building in the Al Asiri area to expand its operations.
“Plans are underway to open an extension there,” the official said.
A crucial buffer between tenants and landlords, the judicial-power-holding Rental Dispute Resolving Committee was established as part of an Emiri Decree in February 2008.
“We are usually swamped by people who want to know their rights as tenants and those filing cases against landlords,” the official said. “The flow has been on the rise of late, especially since the current rent law expires on February 14,” he added.
What does road infrastructure have to do with rentals?
let me educate you - As long as the road infrastructure is such that traffic congestion is a problem, there will always be a strong preference to live and work in one place over the other. Certain areas will be far more desireable such that one can be close to work and home.
Who would want to live out past Villagio for example, when your work is say near the airport? Your talking about hours sopen in your car daily to commute that.
That situation would make living near to your work far more desirable.

Rental in Qatar will always be an issue as long
as the road infrastructure is insufficient to support Doha.
