What should I check before paying a deposit on a bed space in Qatar?

Before you pay, see the room and bed with your own eyes. Ask what the rent covers, such as water, electricity and internet. Ask the deposit amount and get a receipt with the amount, the date and the landlord's name and number. A fair deposit is usually about one month. Do not pay only cash with no paper. Ask if the building is legal for sharing, because illegal partitions can be fined and you could be evicted. Take a photo of the room and keep any message where the landlord agrees the price.
