That's not totally true, you won't be required to pay on annual basis for a lot of things as you mentioned. If you are talking about accommodations!!! I would say, yes propably but this is not the rule here; it depends on the landlord or the real estate company you would be dealing with.

There are landlords who ask for a 12 Post dated advance cheques prior signing the lease agreement; others would ask for 4 quarters post dated advance cheques prior signing the lease. Others might ask for the afull nnual rent in advance of signing the lease agreement; So it depends!!!

You may get a decent 2 bedroom apartment starting from RO 300+, furniture have to be considered as well, as most of the apartments here are rented unfurnished.

Hope that helps

Thanks this was real help
