I do not agree with the comments by Qatar living , if you take a look in to the rent in qatar it is not proportional to the standard of the flats where we are living , most of them are constructed incautiously and the poor expats forced to pay and exacerbated price for these lousy apartments further they are not getting hike in salary or proportional payment to cop up with this inflation , for the best illustration how it can manage perfectly you don't need to go long way jut compare it with Dubai it is at least 20% less than that of here and the apartment standard is 40 % better i reckon it is high time for the government to intervene to stop this real estate mafia from squeezing the poor expat pockets .
