keep in mind that the rent must be paid within 7 days of being due. Typically, most leases require that cheques be dated for the 1st day of the month. Therefore, the monies must be made available by the latest on the 7th day. Failure to pay within 7 days as per qatari law permits the landlord to terminate the lease resulting in the tenant being obliged to vacate the rented premises. Keep this in mind.

And yes, typically 12 postdated cheques upon signing the lease. Ensure that they supply a reciept noting the cheque numbers and bank issued from just for proof of handover.
