Hi There,
We are moving to Doha in the next month, I just want to be prepared as a friend in Abu Dharbi had to pay 6 months in advance on their rent, is it much the same in Doha or is it monthly rent payments?
Thanks!

Monthly only; just deposit a cheque as per the contract.

In doha 6 months free of rent as per Ezdan buildings.

Thanks so much! that puts our minds at ease, was worried we would need to part with a lot of money just to get our house rent paid and moved in! :)

Expect to pay monthly. Some owners will give a slightly better deal on the monthly rate if you pay quarterly, bi-annual or annually, but the norm is monthly.

Didnt hear anyone paying 6 months rent in advance as in Abu Dhabi. Mostly here it should be monthly rent.

You should pay for what you get, not for what you are promised.
