A fair and honourable landlord
Lately, all you read about in the newspapers is how Doha landlords are gouging tenants with massive rent increases, failing to do maintenance on the accommodation and being unfair towards them in many other ways. This letter, however, is about a landlord who has been fair and honourable and has met all commitments made by him and his firm. The landlord is Fahad Jaidah and the firm is Yacob Trading. In the five years we have dealt with Yacob Trading, rent increases have averaged less than 5.5 per cent per year. All maintenance on a fully furnished villa was carried out expeditiously, effectively and to a high standard. Our contacts were with Fahad directly if there were any problems, and actions to fix the problem was taken immediately. He committed to a given high standard of service when we rented from him in 2001 and he has maintained this same high standard throughout our time with him. It is with regret that we will no longer be his tenant. Due to the excessive carnage on the roads these days, we will be leaving his tenancy and moving closer to my office so there is less exposure to the traffic. So while there is a significant number of "unfair" landlords, there are some fair and honourable ones as well. Thanks Fahad for being one of the best.
