robertothebrave, it shouldn't be dictated but it certainly should be REGULATED, like everything what we call a "Free Market" is regulated in the civilized countries.. And that’s what Qatar government tries to do. Few years ago when the rent went high out of control the Government, to support the tenants, restricted the rent raise to 10% every two years.. now situation is changed and government, trying to support landlords, gives them rights to raise or reduce the rent according to the demand. Wise.
