How renting works, country by country
General pointers to help first-time tenants in each market — not legal advice. Rules change, so always confirm the current requirements with a local lawyer, the municipality, or your embassy before signing anything.
Kuwait
Rent is often paid by post-dated cheques covering the lease term, so check what your bank requires before signing. A security deposit and a copy of your Civil ID (for residents) are usually requested.
Bahrain
Tenancy disputes are handled through Bahrain's Rental Disputes Resolution process, so keep your signed contract and payment records. A deposit of around one month's rent is typical.
Oman
Tenancy contracts are commonly registered with the local municipality once signed. Have your passport or resident card ready, and clarify who pays municipality and utility fees before signing.
Jordan
A written lease is strongly recommended and sets out notice periods for renewal or termination, which can otherwise default to local tenancy law. Confirm whether the rent is agreed in Jordanian dinars or indexed to another currency.
Lebanon
Older and newer rental law regimes can apply very differently depending on when a tenancy began, so it's worth confirming which law governs your contract before signing. Settle the currency of payment in writing.
Syria
Rental practice varies by city and the situation is still changing, so insist on a written contract and ask the landlord for proof of ownership before paying anything. Agree the currency and payment method in writing, and check your own government's current travel advice before you plan a move.
Turkey
Written tenancy contracts are standard, and Turkish law caps the deposit at up to three months' rent. You'll typically need a copy of your passport or residence permit, and contracts are often renewed annually.
Egypt
Egypt has both 'old law' and 'new law' rental regimes with different tenant protections, so check which applies to the property. A written contract and a copy of your ID or passport are usually expected.
Iraq
Practices vary by city and region, so a clear written contract and copies of ID for both parties are strongly recommended. Confirm deposit, currency and notice-period terms directly with the landlord before signing.
Every enquiry lands in one inbox.
Registered tenants send enquiries through Malkanat. Every message reaches portal@malkanat.com, so your own contact details stay private.

1. Who we are
Malkanat ("we", "us") operates the website malkanat.com, an online portal where owners and advertisers publish houses for rent or sale in the Middle East. Operator: [legal entity name and registered address to be inserted]. Contact: portal@malkanat.com. By using the site you accept these terms.
2. Our role
We provide a platform for advertisements only. We are not a party to any agreement between users, and we give no advice, introductions on commission, or brokerage services. Any deal is made directly between the parties, at their own risk.
3. Advertisers
If you submit a listing you confirm that: you own the property or hold written authority from the owner to advertise it; every detail and photo is accurate, current and yours to use; you hold every advertising permit or licence required where the property is located (if your country requires one for this type of listing), and you have given us the permit or licence number; and you will remove or update the listing when it is no longer available. We may verify, edit, reject, suspend or remove any listing at any time, including where a required permit is missing or cannot be verified. Listing on Malkanat is free. You must not post false, misleading, duplicate or discriminatory listings, or use another person's licence or property.
4. Registered users
You must be 18 or over and give accurate details to register. Keep your account details private. You must not copy, scrape or resell listing data, send spam or unsolicited marketing to advertisers, or use the site for any unlawful purpose. You must not use Malkanat, or advertise a property, if you or the property owner are subject to UK, EU, UN or US sanctions that prohibit dealing with you. We may screen advertisers and refuse or remove any listing for this reason.
5. Content licence
You keep the rights in what you submit. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, store and promote it on and for Malkanat while it is listed.
6. No warranties
The site and all listings are provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any listing is accurate, lawful or available.
7. Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or any dealing with an advertiser or other user, including loss of money, deposits, opportunity or profit. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or any mandatory consumer rights you have in your country.
8. Advertiser indemnity
Advertisers agree to compensate Malkanat for any claim, fine or cost arising from their listings, including breach of licensing, advertising or property laws or of another person's rights.
9. Changes and ending
We may update the site or these terms at any time. Continued use means you accept the updated terms. We may suspend or close any account or listing that breaks these terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, unless mandatory law in your country of residence says otherwise.

Disclaimer
Last updated 28 September 2026.
Malkanat is an online listing portal only. We are not a real estate agent, broker, developer, landlord, property manager, valuer, lender or adviser. We do not represent any buyer, tenant, seller or landlord, we do not negotiate or take part in any transaction, and we do not charge or receive commission, deposits or fees for any sale or rental.
Listings are created and controlled by the owners and advertisers who submit them. Malkanat does not own, sell, rent or manage the properties shown, and does not verify, guarantee or endorse any listing, price, photo, description, permit, licence or advertiser. Information may be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and a property may no longer be available.
Malkanat only lists countries where, based on our own review, operating a listing portal does not require us to hold a specific government licence or pay a specific government fee. We do not currently list properties in countries where that review found such a requirement, or where it was unclear, until the position is resolved. This review is not a guarantee and rules can change — advertisers remain solely responsible for holding any permit or licence their own listing requires (see the listing form).
Nothing on this site is legal, financial, tax, investment or real estate advice. Before you pay money, sign a contract or rely on a listing, confirm the ownership, permits, price and terms yourself and with a licensed professional in the country concerned. Never transfer money to anyone you have not verified, and use official channels for contracts and payments.
Real estate advertising and brokerage rules differ by country and city. Advertisers alone are responsible for holding every licence, permit and authorisation needed to advertise their property where it is located.For example Houses to let
