A country where 88% of the population is made up of expats must have a lot to offer to attract foreigners in such high numbers.

If you didn’t get the hint, we are talking about Qatar, the tiny oil-rich Middle Eastern nation that offers several attractive qualities for expats. It has one of the highest GDPs in the world, which signifies the high standard of living Qatar has to offer. If you are planning to move here alone or with your family, you might be looking for an apartment for rent in Qatar.

Over 90% of the population lives in Doha, the capital city. This is where you will find the best properties for rent. FGREALTY is one of the most popular real estate brokers in Qatar that expats choose for assistance. We have helped foreigners navigate the real estate Qatar market for over a decade.

Here are the tips we have for you to find an excellent apartment for rent in Qatar easily.

Know what kind of properties are available for rent 

The Qatar government has recently opened its real estate market to foreigners. Now expats can own freehold properties in areas recognized by the Office for Non-Qatari Real Estate Ownership. But still, a majority of expats choose to rent because it provides them with an alternative over hotels and proves to be cheaper than buying a property. This is why around 60% of all properties in Qatar are available for residential renting.

The sheer variety of apartments for rent in Doha will amaze you. From decent one-bedroom apartments to fully-furnished luxury apartments and villas. The rents in Qatar are high because of the high demand for residential properties. However, according to Colliers International, expats can live a comfortable life even when most spend one-third of their income on rent because other utilities here are cheaper. With an array of Qatar living apartment options available, you can always find a property that best matches your requirements.

One of the advantages of renting apartments privately in Qatar is that you don’t have to pay a broker fee, usually equivalent to two weeks’ rent. On the downside, finding suitable apartments for rent this way can take a while.
