Before You Rent in Da Nang, WATCH THIS!

A Da Nang real estate agent answers common rental questions for expats moving to the city. The most popular areas for foreign renters are An Thuong, Son Tra, and Hai Chau across the Han River. Agents typically do not charge tenants — the landlord pays the commission. Paying 6 months or a year upfront can earn a 5–10% discount. Some luxury high-rise buildings add a separate management fee on top of the listed rent. Tenants should inspect the apartment in person before signing, checking water pressure, AC, and appliances. Facebook rental scams are common: fake photos of beautiful apartments are used to lure viewers, then the actual unit is different or unavailable. Quieter neighborhoods include Son Tra and areas along the road to Hoi An. The agent also offers a concierge service for setting up utilities, water delivery, and even visa assistance for a single fee.
