Al-Jandil explained that "the completed lands are currently being sold, and if there is more than one house on a 200-square-meter plot of land, a joint title deed is issued for the number of citizens, the number of families, or the number of houses residing within the 200 meters, and they are sold for a guaranteed fifty or sixty square meters, and the citizens residing on this land pay a price per square meter."
