What to request?

You will have with a number of different condo for rent in Ho Chi Minh, leading you to have plenty of questions, the first of which being “which inquiries should I ASK?”. Therefore,  here are some suggestions:

Are utilities (electricity, gas, water) included in the monthly price?

Is there internet and cable or will I have to sign up for them myself?

Is it furnished?

How long will the lease be signed for? One year? 6 months?

Scooter parking – is it available? If so, where? Do I wish to pay extra?

When do I get my bond back?

What is the penalty if I have to cancel the contract?

You probably say No:

Unfortunately, we, Housing HCMC also don’t  know. still, you’re probably getting ripped off

You are charged more than two-months’ deposit

The landlord/lady can’t produce any English-written contract for you

It’s not clear how utilities will be charged

You are charged extra ridiculous fees, such as finder’s fees, furniture rental, internet installation fees, etc.
