BEWARE OF VILLA 77 IN MATAR QADEEM
HI!!! Would just like to share my bad experience when I rented a room in one of the villas in Matar Qadeem (Villa 77 in AL Hussein Bin Ali Street). First of, it is really not part of the villa, it's an out house (Though they will say in the AD that 2 bedroom part of a villa) . They have at least 10 agents who post their Ad here in Qatar Living (JAISHAD 55654858, SAFI 70646463 andSHAUFIK to name a few), you will notice that they place the location of the villa in their ad as near hotbread and we will take "COMMISSION".
They are putting 2ND hand/used ACs in the rooms (some of which were brought from Najma and some came from their other villas) as you occupy the room for the first two
months everything will be ok, as the month progresses this is where it gets interesting as the AC's compressors stars to give in, in this case the ACs are not operating as they used to be. Naturally you will contact your commissioning agent to report the problem, (it will take you at least 3 calls before they answer you and they will come after 6 hours or more), when they come they will tell you that it is not their responsibility as when you rented it, it was in good condition, then the argument will go on and they will not replace it unless you will suggest to them that they You will bear half of the expenses that will be incurred in the repair (a compressor costs around 500 for window type and 1,000 for split type). These agents don't give a s**t about you after they take their commission, for them it is the commission only they are after.
Also these agents will park their car inside the villas and clean their cars using the water supply of the villa and then charge you when the water bills comes. Also the villa is like a factory that whenever they are repairing something they will use only small room of the back of the villa, they are using varnish and paints and you can smell inside your room and of course it will be bad to your health. They also use the villa as a garbage stockroom as there are lots of garbage inside the villa, report this to the agent or the villa caretaker (safi) and they will not do anything and instead they will tell you, if you don't want it here, go find some other villa. The one month advance that you have given, kiss it goodbye as they will not refund you instead they will tell you to just use it on your last month. Immediately when you tell them that you are vacating the room next month, these 10 or more agents are like sharks in the
sea smelling blood, they smell money as they will put an ad again in qtrliving and the unknowing victim to be will again pay half month commission. Also these agents will entertain potential new occupants as they will knock on your door whenever they please as they with new occupants to be to see the room (actually in these case you are still paid for the whole month so it is still your right to refuse and your privacy should be respected, just imagine, your wife and kids are already sleeping and then they will knock on your door as late
as 11pm with three men just to see the room, they will enter inside and look at the rooms. Such an unprofessional act from these a**holes.
Just posted this to serve as a warning to people who wants to rent on this villa. Its not worth it...
if you are staying in studio type accommodation don[['t pay commission and security deposit. i have 3 times experience they will never refund your security deposit or even they don't allowed to use security deposit as last month rent.

Immigration authorities will make this as an another reason for family visa rejection !
when some people are playing for their self motive we hundreds are losing hope to stay with family here!
..sad to say that this days there are more of such greedy commission agents then the legal agents and who after renting you the place will try and push you out the next month if they find another tenant willing to pay a little more to them. This greedy and pathetic mallus and bengalis are giving this business a very bad name
seriously these fake agents must be caught and first their sponser.
Lol
It is easy to understand them. Even I did it quickly.
After all I understand the following points.
1) Don't ever try to lease from any non-authorized guy.
2) Definitely Partition kind of accommodation will have problems after you occupy. To confirm, just check with already occupied guys about the experience.
3) Or if you want to save money from your accommodation part, You will miss the quality & sink up with that.
Note :- Even state of Qatar has made the minimum qualification to bring your family. Try to check where you loose
You all very much aware of what is legal and what is illegal? If not ask someone before having such experiences instead of pointing your finger to any community.
it is ineed a very bad expierence , but keeping queit and naming them here wont do anything, go to police complain against them , for harresment and complain to baladiya for water wastage ...
its tenants being queit is really making them whatever thy want!!!!! regardless of nationality
Thanks for the warning.. I will stay in Villa 76 Doha Jadeed. It is much better
There are lot of leading real estate companies around Doha, as per my view you have dig your own pit!
Put all their numbers and names
Good action man
Yes i thought the villa is haunted too :(
bad for them ....
contd..
BTW surprisingly all Egyptian tenants in the apt would have got everything. Point is all are same cos the locals who own the places have no time to see if things are OK. They are happy counting the money. A bit of involvement from them can put things alright but we know its never gonna happen.
The bigger names are doing it too though in a sophisticated way. Lot of Egyptians acting as Managers will show you a place, the furniture in the flat is almost finished, gym is dusty & pathetic. They will say as part of complete overhaul in week or so everything will be replaced, cleaned up by the time you occupy and thereafter maintained. Years passby and nothing happens and even if the furniture comes the receptionist, obviously another Egyptian, would ask QR 500 to bring that up to your place. If you ask for what QR500, the answer is, it is there commission. And then for a few days the so called Managers arent to be found and then the furniture vanishes since you did not pay QR500.
renting someones vila is against the rules , the problem is: `we` doha residence we are not reporting them , we agree to rent through someone who knows someone and will take you to someone and so on...renting a house of a room is only allowed from direct owner of the vila /flat ..these people are doing it against the law and we are supporting them by keeping quiet not reporting them :-(
can you post their phone numbers,
These guys should be banned from posting on QL and should be definitely taught a lesson...
All are Bengali's... They top the list when its comes to fraud and crime. Stay away from such people and good luck in finding a better place.
I thought it was haunted.
Why did you rent then?
brainless fellas ..
Authorities must look in to this and take neccessary action against them and put heavy penality or jail those who is involved such kind of business (agents) and spoil the envoirnment (making partition evrywhere and renting the home which is not worth at all)..
These guys must be charged heavy penality or deported back to their country.
These agents seems to be sons of just mother. They should be locked up in the smelly toilet for 48 hours.
Good you have shared such nasty experience for knowledge of all
