Are the rents expected to go up?

Does anyone know if there have been any official announcements about house rents in Doha? Several months ago it was predicted that the rent will come down, but it seems that its going up, instead. Does anyone know if the rents will go higher in 2013?

i have seen many vacant flats without occupants. 2 bedroom

flats are now available for 3500. but real estate agents are spreading rumours like rent up and high demands. many landlords who were reluctant to reduce the rent last year, reduced their rents and also announced free offer due to vacant flats

It depends on your house rent contract.

My contract is yearly, and this year they increase the House rent by 6 percent.

What do you mean official? Any reports are only guesswork. Yes, some landlords are putting their rents up because there's a demand on certain properties in the market. Anything that's popular and decent quality will probably see a year on year raise...if you don't like it, they just rent to the next person. On average though, there really shouldn't be a raise!
