Comparing to Other GCC, the rents are High in Qatar. Is there any fixed rates per area or whats criteria for fixing the rent? As we find there is no difrence between big rooms and small rooms? who is controlling this??

I have to disagree with magicdragon "The rents are higher here because you get first class luxury housing with a beautiful and maintained environment and immediate services if anything should go wrong" From where I come from the quality of condos here are below basic standards and for what we are paying we get better homes with better quality buildings, amenities back home. I think its time that the rental price crashes. Doha can be more attractive with reasonable rentals.

Rates are crashing like hell.....

in 2 or 3 months time all rents in Qatar will be acceptable.

Competition is becoming a factor in Qatar and finally owners will have to provide higher quality in order to be able to sell/rent, hence the consumer will become more powerful.

NO MORE MONOPOLY!!!!

What was the positive legacy of the Asian games?

Since 2006 we've had skyrocketing rents, crippling inflation and non-stop roadworks.

On the upside there are lots of half finished hotels and some fancy new sport venues.

Blame it on Asian Games which was held in Qatar and the demolition on 10,0000 of units in the name of beautifiacation.

'Been nowhere, just watching your comments unfold. And ... you should have noticed that I meant everything 'ironically', as we all know, there is no service in Qatar!

MagicDragon, and may i ask you where have you been?

..as for "immediate services if anything should go wrong", we are awaiting our broken fridge to be replaced by the new one for..over 3 weeks... like if we live in Alaska, and I can freeze my food on my balcony...

Cars

Clothes

Shoes

Carpet

Televisions

Schwarma

Coffee

Door knobs

Real estate agents and few greedy ppl have made RENTS unreachable/unbearable. Before it was very cheap but now for me ITS ONLY A BROKEN DREAM

Landlords can charge what they like! If they price too high they will lose out to cheaper accom though.
