Mostly Brokers raise the rents.

I know many ppls before 3 years (boom time) they were living in an accomodation and when their companies offered them accomodation. They did not leave those accomodations, instead rent it to someone else on a higher rate.

It is a serious social issue in Qatar but unfortunately no one cares for the solutions as some are not affected.

You only feel pain when you are hit.
