Unfurnished apartments for rent in Doha are an excellent option if you already have some furniture of your own and need an apartment. Property Oryx can help you find Apartments in Doha with any of the furnishing options you need.
Apartments advertised as unfurnished come with no furnishings at all. This differs from other countries where unfurnished relates specifically to 'furniture' only like beds, sofas, dining table, etc.
In Qatar's real estate market, when a property is listed as unfurnished, there are no appliances in the kitchen (only fitted kitchen cabinetry). Sometimes, there are no fixed air conditioning units or fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms either. You will be renting an apartment with bare rooms.
It is vital to consider this when searching for a home, as the cost to purchase these items must be considered when budgeting for rental accommodation.
If you want these items included, look for semi-furnished apartments for rent instead; at least they will have some essential things included, like air-conditioning, which is necessary for the long and humid Doha summers. Always check what exactly is included in the apartment you are renting.
Some Doha apartments advertised as furnished apartments may also offer the same accommodation as unfurnished. You, as the tenant, can choose how to take the apartment as the landlord is flexible.
Unfurnished studios in Doha are probably the cheapest apartment you can get in Doha. Although the monthly rental on unfurnished apartments is often cheaper than furnished apartments, once the furniture cost is factored in, one can sometimes end up paying more overall per month. Of course, there are many things one must take into account, like the duration of the tenancy, the condition of the furniture, and the difference in the monthly/annual rental price.
