Welcome Buddy to KSA. The minimum rent of a decent home at a decent location would be around 30K SAR/year.

And it depends on various factors like areas close to your office, the affordibility limits...needless to say 'luck' also. Finding a good home isn't easy and there's not nothing much you can do about it before landing.

I got real lucky and found a 1 bedroom for 39,000 per year in a small place near king abdullah road. You just have to wait and see, try to see if your company can arrange before you arrive otherwise it will be between 1 - 12 months in a hotel....is not easy in riyadh.

I doubt you can get a place on lease without Iqama.

Al mas center is not a famous landmark. Anything else nearby?

2-3 months time to get your IQAMA is way too long. It is Usually 2-3 weeks !! Check it with your employer...!!
