Re: Rent Advice Please
and remember it doesnt matter how many cheques you present (if allowable by landlord which isnt common here) and when presented to bank if no funds in the account you can go to jail.

oooops sorry thought you meant accommodation duh not med insurance, yes they do have to provide it but remember not necessarily for families just the employee etc and some medical insurance schemes are better than others of course.

And if that happens you won't give a toss if the 2nd cheque bounces....you've cancelled the lease and are outta here.

It can be handy having 2 or 3 cheques for the rental period so if you lose your job and have to leave the country you don't lose the rest of the years rent.

Re: Rent Advice Please
Thanks
I really appreciate your advice. I have outlined my package below (I think i got my rent calculations wrong earlier). On the basis that my wife doesnt get work, do you think this would allow us to have a good lifestyle over there.
The package is:
Basic: 72,000 US$ per annun
Housing Allowance: 10,980 AED (UAE Dirhams) per month
Car Allowance: 3,660 AED per month
Mobile allowance: 500 AED per month
One return flight home per year
4 weeks holidays
We like sports and of course going to the pub

This totals around 37k Dh a month. If you have no kids, you will be more than fine
Do check the medical cover, and try and get a relocation lump to pay for fees etc when you get here. Make sure that they pay for your wifes sponsor ship too.

Very nice aptm in a villa, though not huge
