Hey Kelley,

Your best shot is to go with a place that is owned by an Expat, which is usually only places like the Pearl, Lusail, etc.

Your agreement with the expat owner can be very informal, and he/she might be okay with you paying cash.

I think it would be hard to find an apartment complex / villa owned by a company / local Qatari that would be okay with this set up (unless the owner knows you).

Thanks.
