Same is happening now in UAE Dubai

2 days ago saw an advt of a 1 bedroom standalone villa in Dubai Dubizzle for AED 36000 per year, fully IKEA furnished, n tel number, only email option available.

Yesterday I got a reply as below

ASSALAMALIKU

Thanks for the email. The apartment is still available, it`s appear the same as shown on the pictures and we will only be given it out to the right individuals that will take very good care of the place and the facilities.

Well I must let you know that the apartment has a lot of facilities like laundry facilities, air condition, internet and telephone access and a covered car park and other necessary facilities.

We have really decided to give out the apartment as a result of our transfer to BENIN REPUBLIC in our place of work, I came over here with my husband and my daughter, we both bought the house when we got married.

As soon as we settle down here I had a thought of selling the house but later my husband advised against it, he said we may not be able to win the bidding next time, in other to keep our head when we return back that we have to keep the house.

I reasoned with him and accepted his advise, later we decided to have the house rented out. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for our property.

We will be renting out the apartment for 3000 AED Including Utilities and a security deposit of 3000 AED, I`m pet friendly for cats and dogs so 100 AED for pet deposit.

And I need to inform you as well that money is not the major reason why we are renting this apartment out but want someone who can take care of it as if he/she owns it.

I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the apartment because we won't be able to meet in physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the house.

But I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you believe you can take good care of the apartment and handle it like yours then i will be more than happy to let you rent the apartment.

House Information: The Address of the property is : Kuwait Street and Mankhool Road, Al Mankhool, Bur Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates just 20 minutes drive from Dubai international airport and very close to the CityMax Hotel Street.. Available Date: Now !!!!!
