In Vietnam we tend to divide the different housing options as below: Serviced apartments This can be compared to living in a 4-5 star hotel. Normally high rise buildings with a receptions, a gym, restaurants and all services included. These always come with furniture. Monthly cost: $1,200-$5,000 Normal apartments A normal apartment is more independent than a serviced apartment and you have to organize things and pay bills by yourself. These can either be with furniture or without. Monthly cost: $500-$1,200 House Renting a Vietnamese house gives you the most space for the money but also puts a lot more responsibility in your hands. These can either be with furniture or without. Monthly cost: $800-$3,000 Room The easiest to find and also the cheapest option is sharing a house. Then you have one room, often with your own bathroom but shared kitchen, if any. These can either be with furniture or without. Monthly cost: $350-$800 *Always remember that in Vietnam the landlord always want a deposit when you sign a rental contract, this is normally 2-3 months’ rent.

So what we do to keep your deposit safe is creating a rental agreement for you. In Vietnam it is quite common for landlords to rent out apartments while they are trying to sell it, and then when they find a buyer to simply kick the person renting the apartment out. This rental agreement is made in 2 versions (English and Vietnamese). Our agreement does not only have very tight and clear sections about returning your deposit after you move out, but there are also conditions with following matters: 1. Rights and duties of both parties: landlord and house/apartment renter. 2. What happens after the contract end? 3. What is your right when the landlord does not support to repair housing items? 4. What will you get back after you moved out if you spend money on fixing or re paint the rental house/apartment? 5. What happens if you or the landlords wish to end the contract ahead of the decided time?
