According to a recent report by Arab Times, a "number of Kuwaiti citizens and expatriates expressed their resentment over the greed of landlords who increase the rents exorbitantly without considering the fact that their tenants have limited income and such rent hikes add to their daily burdens in life." Moreover, "some tenants said the rents of apartments are the highest in the world, urging the government to intervene in this issue and put an end to this negative phenomenon" .
