Trying to gather a feeling for rental prices in Abu Dhabi. Currently paying 150k pa for a 1 bed appartment in town (Najda St/Electra). Thinking of moving out of town when lease is up in Feb. Will I be able to save myself some money by going out of town?

What's available out there and how much willI pay? 2 bed villa/flat? Khalifa City? Raha Gardens? MBZ? On the island?

Someone told me that rents haven't dipped too much and I might be best off negotiating a 15% reduction with my current landlord if I can as I won't find anything 1 or 2 bed anywhere (well, legal, anyway) for 100k pa...

Any advice on decent agents who will genuinely not try to rip you off would be appreciated.

what makes you think your current LL will reduce your rent 10-15%??

Just spoke to an agent, I told him I'd like to reduce what I pay in rent. He suggested I try to negotiate. He'd done it on some properties for clients and it worked.

sounds promising!!
