Rental accomodation owners and agencies.
Hi
I am living in a rented flat in airport area for the last 9 years. Inspite of regular ANNUAL rent hikes, the agency from which i rented the place is not doing proper maintainence of the home and their attitude is very rude.
I know i m stuck with them for atleast few more months as i have signed an annual contract.
But what i want is that on qatar living we can start a forum in which anyone can submit information about their rented accomodation regarding the service of the rental agency or the owner himself after u have signed the contract. About the maintenance of the place , rent hikes and about the general attitude of the owner (landlord) or the rental agency.
this can be positive comments or negative depending upon the service u got.
this will help people who r looking to rent homes to choose better accomodations even if they have to pay a little more than those who just keep on renting hikes without any service from them.
Like my flat in airport area, the agency is Qatar Autolight (near Olympic Sports on Al Matar street) run by one egyptian and couple of indians. owner is some Al-Haidous.
I rented this flat in year 2000 for 1000 riyals and this year i m paying 6000 rent.
Inspite of this all the maintenance i have to do myself.
Their attitiude is very rude at the agency.
If u have to call them for any reason they are never available on phone (always out of office).
I know some people in the same building, they did not even sign rental contracts as the agency told them there is no contract and if they want to sign contract they can go look for another place.
i hope if most of us join in giving information about this stuff, then people will be wary of such owners/agencies, which might help in the long run.

Question-: Is maintenance by the landlord recorded in your lease??
If so, issue formal letters of request for maintenance jobs...build up some documentation, then visit the lease registration dept of the Municipality and submit a complaint...
They will contact the landlord to instruct him to adhere to the maintenance clause. Failure to do so, and a repeat visit by you, will result in you being formally advised to execute the works and the monies will be taken from the landlord with you being reimbursed. (keep reciepts)... Well, this is a rough idea of the course of action, but they will act, if you have a maintenance clause.
Dear Birdie. Next time you write a name, please ensure that the initial letter is capitalised. Thanks.
I have 2BHK appartment. I pay QAR 10,000 every month. Hope the information helps.
mr.hasan, can u pls disclose the rent and size of the flat you have rented.
as Mr.Salrza mentioned his rent, it will be an idea to know the market rate prevailing in Qatar
I have rented an apartment from Zukhroof. Their service is excellent. I have never faced any problems. Very courteous people.
