Rental cost vary enormously for villas of different sizes, some with swimming pools, others without, and between old and new apartment blocks, in good, bad and indifferent locations.

1 bedroom apartment monthly rent is approx ($) 750-1000
2 bedroom apartment monthly rent is approx ($) 1000-1500
3 bedroom apartment monthly rent is approx ($) 1500-1800

furnished acommodation costs around 25 percent more than the figures quote above, and short-term lets are charged at a higher rate thanlonger ones.
Also note that states impose a local tax (baladiya) on property to cover expenses such as refuse collection and road maintenance. Whether the landlord or the tenand pays is one of the matters to sort out in the contract, although normally the property owner bears the cost.
