Is 15,000 QR enough for rent per month?

By EmmaS

My husband has been offered a job in Doha with an (fully furnished) accommodation supplement of 15,000 QR per month.

Would this be enough for a decent 3 bedroom house/villa/apartment. (By decent I mean spacious, safe, good air conditioning, newish kitchen and bathroom, dishwasher etc, (can you even have a dishwasher in qatar or are there water restrictions?)

Am I better to try and furnish a semi-furnished or find a fully furnished and are there any specific areas in Doha that are best for families? , a lot of the cost of living info online is from a few years ago,

How much would most western expatriates pay now for a 3 bedroom place, with dishwasher, washing machine, nice bathroom etc?

appreciate any help/advice :0)

welcome to doha... i guess, you can get quite a decent one as per your requirement based on your budget, quite conveniently...

its basically from rental agents whom you may have to maximum commiossion not more than one month's rent amount...

i guess, you can get an entire villa if you live a bit far from main doha...

best of luck !

Yeah we don't pay anything like that in NZ but looking online it seems you don't get a lot for your money in Qatar! What are the best websites for accomodation in Doha?, do most people go through rental agents or directly to landlords. Is it a lot more expensive to live in a compound?

You might just get away with it.
