'Al Waab Signal … ‘temporary closure’'

The Al Waab Signal will be partially closed for one week from today, Public Works Authority (Ashghal) said yesterday.
The closure is in order to complete road work, it said.
Motorists coming from Sadd Signal towards Al Waab will have to turn right at the Lakhwiya round-about and then turn left, followed by another right turn, to come back on the Al Waab Street.
Those coming from Bustan Street towards Al Waab will go straight past the Lakhwiya round-about, turn left and then right to enter Al Waab Street, the Authority said.

"Abdullah Ibrahim al-Sada: dream homes for expatriates"

Doha Municipality yesterday introduced five beneficiaries of a programme allowing non-Qataris to buy residential properties on a renewable leasehold of 99 years in Qatar.
The scheme, backed by a decree issued in 2004 and a Cabinet decision in 2006, would allow the prospective buyers to stay in Qatar practically without a sponsor. The ownership of the property would move to the “first degree” inheritor in case of the owner’s death.

Tenants hit by rent row
By Sarmad Qazi
The tenants of an eight-villa posh compound in Al Gharaffa have received eviction notices following a dispute between the landlord and the real estate agent.
The dispute arose when the agent failed to pay the rent collected from the tenants to the landlord, it is learnt.
Last Thursday, the police arrived at the compound asking the tenants to vacate.
“They said the owner had won a case against the agent of the property and they were there to evict them. It was a shocking news to us,” a tenant told Gulf Times.
