House listings may connect you to unit owners and landlords, but it is recommended to seek help from property consultants like Barwa and Mirage. They will help you with all the paperworks and will also orient you in how rental goes in the country. If you’ve already found an ideal place to rent, you may start collating the needed documents. Most rentals in Qatar require post-dated checks, either your property consultant helps you get one, or you can negotiate this with your landlord if you’ve just arrived. Prepare copies of your valid IDs, employment contract, and copies of your visa.
