Rent can be defined as an agreement to pay for the temporary use of a property owned by another person for a specified period, with the consent and desire of the owner of the property in exchange for a specific rental value, usually paid on a monthly basis in Kuwait. Bo Shamlan Kuwait real estate finder, provides some advice to the citizen or resident before renting an apartment in Salmiya or any other area:

• Set an appointment to visit the apartment yourself, examine it, and review all the details before agreeing and entering into the details of the lease contract.
• Read the lease contract carefully and get acquainted with the conditions, duties, rights and responsibilities of all parties, including the lease term, the rental value, the date of payment, and whether there is a security deposit, …etc.
• If the apartment is rented through a real estate agency, you must ensure that the person you are dealing with has an official status and is registered with the relevant authorities in the country. The fee for its services must also be clear, as it is generally accepted that it is half of the rent of a full month, in exchange for the real estate agency helping you find a property that suits your needs and budget, helping you understand the laws, paperwork, the negotiation process, and making sure that everything is in order before and after signing the lease.
• Review the documents proving the advertiser's or his representative's ownership of the apartment or building, and whether he may dispose of the rent, so as not to fall prey to a fraud.
• Clarity of responsibilities for paying electricity and water expenses, and clarity of responsibilities for internal and external maintenance and repairs of the apartment and the house or building that includes the apartment, noting that the law obliges the landlord to bear the consumable repairs inside the apartment resulting from its daily use.
• Clarity of the monthly rent value and due date, as the Kuwaiti law sets the date of the 20th of each month as the final date for payment.
• Knowing that the Rent Law in Kuwait stipulates that the landlord may not raise the rent until after five years.
• It is important to ensure car parking space is available, as parking is limited in Salmiya so it is important to check if parking is guaranteed with the rental property.
• Ensure the distances to the main services such as the cooperative society (Supermarket), schools, clinic, shops, services, restaurants, cafes...etc.

It is noteworthy that Kuwaiti citizens and residents tend to rent instead of owning, and this is common in Salmiya and most areas of Kuwait as well, and the reason is due to their inability to own property and bear the exorbitant value of real estate, although rent consumes about 30% of the average salary of an employee in Kuwait.
