Al-Mufaraj explained the possibility of being guided by the logic of the price offered for rent by visiting the rental index in “Ejar”; to ensure that the offered price is in line with the price range and average prices of the real estate unit according to the specifications of the unit and its location, and that the transfer of the financial payment is through the electronic payment channel provided by the electronic network for rental services after documenting the electronic contract; and caution against the financial transfer to bank accounts directly to prevent falling into cases of manipulation.
