If all people would not want to rent till they meet the owner,the rent would be resonable!..i rented in al hilal 3yrs ago,i dealt with a pakistani 3BR old flat 4500 after one year he said rent will be 5000,another year he came and said another 500 more ..so he wanted 5500,the house ws very old!!my son met our neighbour irani guy,he askd him how much rent?when he heard 5500 he was shocked. the guy said their rent is v less,i decided to tell the pakistani guy that,im going to report him to the police.he got scared and said ok pay me same rent!but as i was looking for another flat.i just moved out.As i said if anyone is looking for house just speak to the ownr direct.
