Tenants should have better options when paying rent

In reference to your article Some Dubai tenants to pay rent by direct debit instead of cheque (Nov 4), yes, please drop this one or two cheque yearly rental. The economy is already difficult as it is and being forced to put up tens of thousands of dirhams in one shot to pay an entire year’s rent is an extreme notion.

Monthly or bi-monthly rental payments are much more feasible for the population. When we next move house, we will look for properties that have more flexibility in payments.
