FAQs about Renting an Apartment in Bahrain

Being one of the biggest real estate markets in the GCC, Bahrain has a lot of rental options. Even if you are a student looking for affordable options or a working personnel seeking luxury accommodations; there are a myriad of options. But before renting an apartment, there may be certain questions that cross your mind. We are covering the main ones here.

• How are the apartment rentals priced in Bahrain?

?

First and foremost, it’s important that you fix an average budget up to which you will be able to pay off each month as rentals. This is because the rates vary a lot depending on the location and space. If you are looking for a luxurious apartment, you can check out Apartments in Financial Harbour, Seef, or Reef, with rentals starting from 400 BD and above.

• Is it worth opting for a furnished apartment?

?

Furnished apartments are always more expensive than unfurnished ones. First, you need to create a list of the essential furniture that you require. Then, if you have the time, do some research for good-quality, affordable furniture on websites like Home Center, The One Bahrain, etc. Get these delivered to your home directly and save money by choosing unfurnished apartments.

This is the most important part of your decision phase. It’s important that you read the agreement carefully and understand what services are being provided, the contract period, the maintenance charges, and the extras, if any.
