well the reason why the rents are down is because they are cutting up these villas into little rooms and sharing them.they would take a normally 4 bed room villa and partion the big rooms into furthere small rooms then rent them out as separate part of the villa.You don' t get like before fair sized room for your money.Now you get cheap villas but very small rooms with makeshift kitchens under the stairs or makeshift bathrooms. i found anew one yestarday a guy has converted a school into houses. all the class rooms have been made into 1 bed room and a tiny hall and kitchen and so on and theye are going for 2200 and above for a room.At a fair price you cannot find large rooms for families.They advertise 1 bedroom as family accommodation. someone who has iwfe and 4 kids makes a total of six cannot live in one bedroom and small hall.This is going crazy, I miss the days when I rented a 3 bedroom amssives size flat in Umm gwailina for less than 2000.When I just arrived here I rented a 2 bedroom villa fully furnished with satelite and the lot in musherib for 1500.Now even for double the price you can't find this.
