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. More: apartment for lease in HCMC
