I am interested to know why in a rental contract, the monthly fee is 280bd yet 'off the record' they charge 600bd ?

Is this because they will only have to pay tax on the 280 and not on the 600 ?

The 'off the record part' they say is for maintenance. The sheer irony of this is that we witness very little maintenance at all. In fact one resident almost died after they contacted sepsis from the swimming pool that was full of bacteria. After a broken tile in the pool introduced the wound to some bacteria. They chuck chlorine in occasionally but that evaporates quickly in the heat and the filters are never cleaned.

Anyway. You thoughts and advice/experience will be gratefully received.
