Renting guides
Renting in Da Nang, explained by someone who lives here
These are the questions I answer most often for people moving to Da Nang. What an area actually costs, which streets flood, what a Vietnamese lease says, and what a landlord will and will not agree to.
Every guide is written by Alice Pham, a Private Rental Advisor working in Da Nang since 2019. More guides are being written now and will appear here as they are published.
