hi everyone
please give me details info about renting flat, and conditions
I got info someone said that you must pay the money of 12 months before stay in there, I assume that rent fee is 3000 x 12 =36000 I must sign the contract for one year and pay 36000 is this silly thing correct :/
by the way I am bachelor and looking for flat for myself
1 bedroom 1 kitchen 1 bathroom , no need big
thanks all..

only recently that i have heard about this cash payment of sorts bec. the past 3 years i live here it is mostly post-dated checks. but if this is the trend now then pls make sure that it is only from a reliable one bec. i know a friend who paid for a year's advance but only after 6mos or so the place was demolished as per the government. she didn't have a choice. lost a place as well as large sum of money. so beware. goodluck.

All casses are possible,

as it depends on the LandLord, Agent or who ever is running the bussnes.

In general , you can talk them into a payment method that is reasnable for both parties.

IT IS NOT TRUE

you have to pay 12 cheques ( not cash ) each of QR. 3000

you may give these as post dated cheques.. I mean

01-11-08, 01-12-08, 01-01-09, 01-02-09....

hence it is not a big deal

if u contact directly to the estate agent thy r gonna charge u same...

but usually wht is practiced is the landlord ask for one month advance rent and sum of them for refundable advance amount as on security basis..if u wish to shift from ur accomodation jst give them one month notice and so they will adjust ur advance rent and refund ur security amount...

secondly as u r a bachelor thn u can find 1BHK easily in less then QR3000..try to browse QL and gulf times classified...surely u will find the nice deal here..
