That would be great, thanks.

Also, was speaking to someone today who told me 'sharing' was now legal which i didn't know. Will be interested to see prices, or hear from anyone recently moved into a shared villa there and how it goes etc.

How about your very own studio apartment in glamorous International City for only AED35,000 per year?

there's one ad up for a room in a villa, 5000 dhs per month, and one for a 1 bedroom apartment in Uptown, 6500 but that only shortterm from May - Aug

ok so between 4-5k p month is the going rate for a shared villa.. hmm...I think my allowance covers the lower end of that, 48kpa, so it might be doable.

i'll keep my eye out on that board too. How does the arrangement work with rent sharing and payment then? Pay the person who has the tenancy agreement with the owner. With people leaving i might be hopping around a bit.

in regards to international city, don't know much about it. but i am lookin to meet more single ppl in dubai and get out and do more, so sharing a villa would be more preferable to a studio.

thanks for the figures.

Unless there's a particular reason to limit yourself to villas, look at shared apartments too... plenty around in the Marina these days, and you'd probably find something at 4k now rental prices are coming down.

thanks for the heads up...
yeah the thing is that I am working in Sharjah, near the Institute of technology.
If i go for Mirdif, getting to and from work is really easy.
Would love to be out on Marina side, but impossible :)
