How to Choose the Right Rental Apartment for Your Family

Set your budget first

The common rule is to keep rent below 25–30% of your monthly income, so the rest of your budget stays balanced.

Location and nearby services

• Proximity to schools, mosques and shops
• Easy access to the main roads and to your workplace
• How quiet the neighbourhood is, and how safe

Size and internal layout

Pick the number of rooms that suits the size of your family, and pay attention to the layout of the majlis, the bathrooms and the kitchen.

Check before you sign

Confirm the standard of finish, the air conditioning and the electricity and water meters, and make sure the tenancy contract is registered. Thibrh shows you all of this up front, so you have fewer questions left to ask.
