Just A Tad Bit Frustrated...

By Ms Hala

Hey Everyone,

Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday! I was and thought I'd take a moment to go on QL which caused me to be a tad bit frustrated...

Under "Advise & Help" I posted how I could use the help of fellow users in my search for a permanent place to live now that things have turned up for me here in Qatar. I'm still living in temporary rent and need to move in a couple of months.

Instead, QL removes my post and in it's place posts "Use the Classifieds Section".

Really QL? Have you even bothered to review some of the posts in that terrible section? How is anyone going to even feel welcome to use that section when every other post starts with "Kabayan Only", "Pinoy Only", "Indian Only", "Family Only"? What's with the ONLY?!

Am I the only one frustrated or is it time to just stop using QL all together?

*sigh*

It would depend on the budget you could afford.

moving is very stressful and a lot of hassle...unless you just have your suitcase and some stuff AND you have your own transport

Sorry, but you should use the classifieds..

Writing on the main forums can invite PMs and friendship requests

Everyone, I appreciate your input, thank you kindly.

However, please bare in mind this is going to be my third time moving and I can't keep renting on a temporary basis. I have used the QL, ElWasset and Gulf Times classifieds to no available. How I found my last place is by posting in the forums requesting assistance which got me several leads.

The fact that the MODS are after my "advice and help" post and not after the classifieds that aren't helpful to many of us none Philippianos and Indians respectfully is what's frustrating me right now...

I would suggest use "Apartments for rent, Doha" in google and you will have various websites having accommodations available, if you havent already done so. You can also check Al Emadi, Al Asmakh etc for a place. Classifieds section of GT very ferquesntly runs a dedicated page for Al Asmakh properties in classified section. Zukhrof, Better homes, AlDar Arch, Mirage properties(?), are some other real estate companies to look at. Justlanded is a good website for highend properties at Pearl etc. You can check Bilal towers near Ramada Encore too in Al Areeq St.

Ok what you need to do is check the Gulf Times, you can do that online also.

Check QL Classifieds.

First try to identify an area where you want the place then contact the agents and ask them to show available apartments in that area!
