After talks with the "Boss" of murooj, we were told that he was 99.9% sure that there will not be an increase this year! Where did you hear this?

Some neighbor put a notice up in our building this morning. He had asked to see the new contract and they told him no because they were makiing changes. He tried to find out what changes and they told him the rent would change. He is asking all murooj tenants to lobby in order to get the info now because they might just hand us new contracts in december with increased rent and no notice.

I called the office today and spoke to "Kabir" and his answer was ...maybe yes amybe no ...as usual. I guess if they are unable to give me a straight "no" answer that means "yes"

don't want to take any risk and have to move in a weeks time in december.

I would take that with a pinch of salt Mia.... For now its all speculation, and until its offical giving ample notice for those that have to move - time to move then hold tight.

I would imagine that changes to the contract could be down to how neigbours treat each other.... We have had a few probs with those upstairs and we saw a final warning being written in red the other day to some poor tenant... also a crack down on those using their small balconys to dry laundry.

Kabir is not the "Boss" there is nothing in our elavator, or Lobby... surely if this was the case then if would be put up in each block....

IMHO i think they are overpriced as it is !!

I could get a villa outside of the fashionable areas for what it cost me for a 2 bed apartment !!

I went to the convieniant store nearby and the guy sold me the packet of Malboro for 6 dirhams! seems Like he is not aware.

A friend of mine informed me this morning now the new price is 6.50 or 7 I think.

I shall go and buy a packet just to see how much they are.... But really even with the slight rise, I dont think that they are that costly.... At the moment!! :)

When a Malboro Pack was 4 Dirhams some while back but still we were complaining!!


In Uk its justifiable because of taxes but not here.

Go to the petrol station just on the safe side, to Make sure you dont buy it from the same store where I did!
