House Allowance Payment

Hi All,
I am  currently  negotiating a  contract  with  a Tanzanian  company,  they offered  me  1000$ monthly house allowance  net.
my question is it possible  to  get  the  allowance  cash on hand or companies will pay it direct  to  the  owner?
Thanks 
Mike

Either of the arrangements are given by the employees. Paying house allowance or Paying rent to owners.
later one in most of the case. Rent for a good 2 BHK accommodation would cost you around $ 500 - $ 800.

I assume House allowance is only for Rent.

Regards,
Rajesh

Does  it mean  that  if i saved x amount from the  housing  allowance,  i will not be able to  benefit from this  saving?
