Just to add a further fact, authorities will be least bothered about the housing of expats. There were many news n rumors n some raids and lot of bla bla in UAE in the period of 2008-2010 but the things never changed, it a known fact the demand is high n supply is low. Peoples are staying Far away from the city to save the rent but the fact is as Qatar is extending its constructions external areas rents are going to be increased soon. Only the Qatar government can order to reduce the rents irrespective of the area. As a matter of fact when i first came to Qatar - i got a 2 bedroom Flat in mushierieb area for 6000 QR/month and 3 months were given as free, in 2012 they removed that free service, in 2013 they increase they kept the rent same, but in 2014 they changed it 6600, and in 2015 they made it 7200. and my increment for every year was not more than 400QR, luckily my cousin is here so i have shared the burden of rent 50% with him. Finally there wont be any changes to the renting system, untill 2022 FIFA is over and by that time many expats will be back from here.
