I am very surprised yesterday when the landlord representative came to my appartment with a letter !
and guess what was on the letter ? a message from the company (owned by the landlord) saying that they are reducing the rent by 1000 riyals !! starting next month !
note that my contract expires in Feb 2010 !!! and it states in the contract that if i choose to leave, i still need to pay the full amount left of rent !! i was paying 8000 riyals for semi furnished 2 bedroom (1 extra bedroom i am using as a TV room) so actually the appartment is 3 Bedroom ! from next month i will be paying 7000 riyals !
so the landlord did not need to do this ! but he did , lucky me i guess !! the whole building (small NEW building) got the same letter ! we have only been in this appartment for 3 months now and we are all pretty happy and thankful until now ! lets cross fingers and hope that prices will continue to fall !!
