Dear,

Do not pay addvance any thing to agent.it is very risky.if he give discount than also do not take risk.

No good thoughts of paying rent for 1 year not atleast when so many people have enough suffered by real estate agents.

The only thing I agree with above is the description of the real estate agents here in Doha - PARASITIC.

As for paying in advance, yes make sure you get at least 20% off for doing so and that there will no problems with the landlord and the company in the future.

This is the last trick being played by the real Estate agents now. Bcoz every one knows that the rents will come down very soon and these paracite agents will have to leave this busieness and try other jobs. So dont get caught in these tricks of the agents.

Better not to make advance payments of rents

No it is not a good idea to pay a years worth of rent in advance. Many people have written posts on Qatar Living complaining of being ripped off by people taking a years worth of rent and then the real owner evicting them when the real estate company went bankrupt or just disappeared.
