How is rent paid in oman?

Hi all I'm English and moving to oman in the middle of August, iv seen online that rent is paid annually? Age I'm just trying to find out the details about this? Can anyone help me with this and the way that rent is paid as I'd rather pay a deposit and monthly amount if that is possible? Even if it's a room to rent?
Any help would be great?

Thanks everyone!

Jake

First of all you are welcome in Oman . Rent can be paid monthly or annually , the method of payment is very flexible in Oman
Another thing is do you want the accommodation for single  or family

Oh thts brilliant! Does it depend entirely on the landlord? Or do they all offer both options? I'm only looking for accomodation for single or potentially 2 rooms, 1 for me and 1 for another colleague who's coming out at the same time.

Are the Omani people generally alright with the English people?

Hi Jack,
For Room Rent First You have to get registered in municipal Authority and payment method Can be Selected according to Land Owner will However You Start looking Online for Accommodation Where are you planning to Stay I mean in which Area of Muscat?
2ndly people are Good and Nice So no need to Worry about

Hi there,
Can I register with the municipal authority before I get out there? And do I have to be registered with them before I can rent at all or just a room share?
I'm working in madinat qaboos so would like to live close to that as I'm not going to be able to drive for the first couple of months.
Oh good, are there any things I should know about being out there as an English expat?

[moderated: please post in the housing section]

Hi Jake,

After you land in oman you could stay in an hotel for a week before searching for your kind of accommodation as per your budget. Here in oman Some house owners Charge Monthly, or take post dated cheques after only which they register the same in the municipality as an agreement.

The people of Oman are very friendly and hospitable. Its a very freindly Place with a lot of other expats.

Madinat Qabus Hmm Coincidentally i am also living Near to this place and Aren't they offering you Accommodation?
if Not You can Still manage Good and Cheap Residency in near Places and why you cant Drive??
And All Expats are treated the same here People are Warm and Friendly. And you will get register after getting here

Hi everyone, thankyou all so much for the help!
In answer to your questions, I can't drive until I get my visa as it would mean I have to rent a car and would be a waste of money and Yes They will help me find accommodation once I am out there.
Thankyou all for the numbers, I would very much like to chat to you all once I am out there, I'll be by myself so I would like to get to know as many people as possible!
If you private message me your numbers il call you all once I arrive.
Thanks
