In Japan, it is common to arrange furniture and electrical appliances by yourself, but in Vietnam, most of the properties are equipped with furniture such as TVs, sofas and tables, and home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and microwave ovens. When choosing a property, it is important to check the condition, such as what kind of electrical appliances and furniture are already installed, and whether they are broken.

Compared to Japanese properties, Vietnamese properties have a lot more problems. There are many problems that cannot be seen in Japan, such as water leaking from the ceiling and water leaking from the air conditioner. Also, unlike Japan, in Ho Chi Minh, where half of the year is the rainy season, there is a problem of leaks if the doors and windows are not properly built. What is important here is the response of the staff on the property side. If the property is well-managed, a repair person will be stationed there, and if there is a problem, it will respond immediately. However, if the property is poorly managed, there may be things that are unthinkable in Japan, such as the engineer not coming at that time even if promised, and the repairs being rough and eventually breaking again.

Pests such as ants and cockroaches are constantly present in tropical Ho Chi Minh. Since ants invade from the outside, it is necessary to be careful on a daily basis, such as not leaving sweets on the table. It is also important to select a well-managed property that regularly performs pest control.

In Vietnam, it is basic to take a shower. There are quite a few properties with bathtubs, but the rent is higher.

Alomost apartments and luxury serviced apartments have a pool. There is a shallow pool for children, and some properties have a jacuzzi function. The pool will be used frequently in households with children. Residents often call a coach to the pool of the property to teach them. On the contrary, if you are a single person, even if you think that it is hot at first and you will swim on a day off, it will not be used in the end, so it may be better to look for a property without being too particular about it.

Children’s playgrounds are often a key point for those who come to Vietnam with their families. Some properties have a large garden like a park, while others have nothing at all. For families with babies and preschoolers, properties with air-conditioned kids rooms are popular. It is not a living environment where children go out to play away from the property, so if there is a playground of a certain size in the property, it is easy to make friends and it can be said that it is a good property for children.

It is called a deposit, and you usually have to deposit one or two months’ rent.
After the contract period expires, the deposit will be refunded in full if there is no damage or defect in the room or equipment.

We usually pay in advance for 1-2 months.
