Friends,
I am new to Doha and do not have much friends too.How to find a good flat suitable for family - are there brokers or agents or newspapers to find rentals flats?
Also, what are terms or concerns in shifting from one to another- will they deduct too much money? ( I heard that we have to give a year's rent in advance cheques)

Go around in Doha looking for completed Buildings u will see sign board contact Nos for Rent..but see that u pay the advance by going to reputed office n take receipt of advance payment or else check daily on local newspapers plenty of real Estate Agents.

Hi pal,

I suggest not go for the agents , it's better to take/rent from a direct party. Try QL web site it will definitely help you ! Anyway good luck !!

You should check in the newspaper. Gulf Times for accomodation. They have a website. Just google.There you see what is on the market.

Decide where you want to live ie. what area, what accomodation ie. house, compound, flat & what you want to spend. This will give you a better idea when searching.
