Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Property in Hanoi
What is the average rent for an apartment in Hanoi?
Rental prices vary by district, building quality, apartment size, and furnishings. Apartments in Tay Ho, Ciputra, Ba Dinh, and Hoan Kiem generally command higher rents due to their popularity with expatriates, while other districts offer more affordable options. Browse our updated listings for the latest rental prices across Hanoi.
Which district is best for expatriates in Hanoi?
Tay Ho and Ciputra are the most popular choices for expatriates thanks to their international communities, modern housing, green surroundings, and convenient access to international schools. Ba Dinh is also favored by diplomats, while Cau Giay and Nam Tu Liem attract professionals working in Hanoi's western business district.
Can foreigners rent an apartment or house in Hanoi?
Yes. Foreign nationals can legally rent apartments, houses, villas, and serviced apartments in Vietnam with a valid passport and visa or Temporary Residence Card (TRC). Landlords are responsible for registering tenants with the local authorities, and our team assists throughout the process.
What documents are required to rent a property in Vietnam?
Most landlords require a valid passport, a current visa or TRC, a signed lease agreement, and a security deposit. Some corporate leases may also require company documentation or proof of employment.
How much is the security deposit?
For long-term rentals, the security deposit is typically equivalent to one or two months' rent. The exact amount depends on the landlord, lease length, and property type.
Are utilities included in the monthly rent?
In most apartments, villas, and houses, tenants pay electricity, water, internet, and other utilities separately. Serviced apartments often include some or all utility costs, housekeeping, and management fees within the monthly rent.
How long is a typical lease in Hanoi?
Most long-term rental agreements are signed for at least 12 months, although some landlords accept leases from six months depending on the property and availability.
How long does the rental process usually take?
From selecting suitable properties to signing the lease and receiving the keys, the process usually takes between three and seven days. Urgent relocations can often be completed more quickly if suitable properties are immediately available.
Do you charge tenants any service fees?
No. Our property search, consultation, scheduling of viewings, and rental assistance are provided free of charge to tenants. We work directly with property owners and support you throughout the leasing process.
Can you help me find a home before I arrive in Hanoi?
