Maybe to inform Baladiya for increasing the house rent?

Accommodation is not a free market in Qatar, landlords collude to drive up prices. Not fair, but what to do yanni?

Qatar isn't world class when in comes to villa and flats. I'm wondering why rent is so expensive. Imagine a room unfurnished with bath, minimum rent is QR2500!

the best you can do is look for another house, negotiation won't work.
