My friend and I have been thinking about moving to Dubai but looking at the rental market I can't understand how anyone affords to live there.
He would be able to get a well paid job but I am looking at "normal" jobs, unless you all house share, what are the options?????

er not much, that's pretty much it, house sharing or living somewhere crappy.

hahha, so true. i am asking myself the same question during the last few days.
but even sharing appartments seems to be a tough job! "female exec. wanted", "discrete", "bed share",... very unique coming from austral-asia

There are new rules in Dubai now. It is difficult to share apartments anymore. A lot of ppl with normal income or low income will be affected.
My fren is staying in Bur Dubai and last week, Dubai Police came and did a spot check on all the apartments. A lot have been given warning to evacuate all the people who shares accomodation.
It is getting more complicated now in Dubai.

Does not depend on the income...,, unless u take a flat or villa for urself-- u r still at risk.... munciplaity can knock ur door ... anytime of the day....even if one stays at a studo or hall, with private entrance, but shares the same villa with other people--u r still sharing, so breaking the rules..... Now tha question is-- to take risks and stay in a nice area with nice neighbours, or to be an idiot and take a flat in stinky International City or some Dubai Marina, and give 1 check for 12 months ahead?........ But I don't need a 1b/r flat in dubai marina for my own(can afford), and do not want to live in International city or bur duabi paying 80 K as a minimum ...per year...... absolutely stupid rules!!!
