Well, that is how the thing is working for me and I am aware of a lot of problems with this department.
Anyway, I payed 200 bd monthly from my pocket for one year when I joined GF for a fully furnished apartment then I moved to a cheaper one inside the allowance and I am 3 years now on this place without any problem or any adjustment on the rent and nobody at any moment said to me that I should pay any amount of money just because was a GF contract. The only thing I did was to find a place limited to my allowance.
On top of that this is an allowance that means you are limited to expend up to its limit. Check with people that are leaving here more time than me for instance and in the same place and you will realise that they never had any change in their rent under GF contract differently from some guys with contracts directly with the landlord that are subjected a annual adjustments.
This is how I see it and I respect your point of view.
