The Complete Nha Trang Monthly Rent Guide: Renting an Apartment and Finding Long-Term Housing in Nha Trang

When looking for a place to live in Nha Trang for several months or more, look at what the monthly rent includes before you look at the photos. For the same amount, the real cost of living differs between a fully furnished home and an unfurnished one, and the money you need to prepare at move-in changes depending on the deposit and prepayment terms. A home near the beach is not always more convenient, either. Your commute direction, nighttime noise, grocery routes, and the building's management condition can affect your daily satisfaction more than the location itself.

This article is based on information published on BE-JIB Nha Trang monthly rentals as of July 24, 2026. The confirmed comparison range for Nha Trang monthly rents runs from 6 million to 26 million VND per month. The live list showed 413 listings in total, but the number by area varied greatly. Downtown / Tran Phu had 171, while South / An Vien had 4. In areas with many listings, it is easy to compare conditions side by side; in areas with few, it can be hard to find an alternative even when a home you like appears.

Prices, floor area, floor level, deposits, management fees, electricity and water charges, and minimum contract terms can change and differ from listing to listing. The specific values written in this article are only the ones confirmed on the live pages that day. Conditions that are missing from a page or written inconsistently are marked as needs verification. Before an actual contract, you should get the latest terms again from the landlord or agent and cross-check them against the contract.

1. Nha Trang monthly rents at a glance

When looking at Nha Trang apartment rental prices, the most dangerous approach is to trust a single citywide average. Monthly rent varies not only by location but also by the number of bedrooms, the state of the furnishings, the view, and how the building is managed. Even within BE-JIB's live listings, registered values in the low, mid, and high ranges were all confirmed. This article does not arbitrarily create price-tier boundaries; instead, it uses the actually registered range of 6 million to 26 million VND per month as the basis for comparison.

The listing counts in the table below are the values shown in the live list's area categories. The monthly-rent ranges are the values actually registered for each area within the comparison basis confirmed on the same day. They do not mean a fixed market rate for the whole market, or the lowest and highest prices that will hold going forward. In particular, for listings classified as Other / needs verification, it is safer not to use them as neighborhood-comparison material until the exact address is confirmed.

The key thing to read directly from the table is the difference in sample size rather than price. Downtown / Tran Phu has more than 100, but North / Hon Chong has fewer than 20, and Phuoc Hoa / Xom Moi and South / An Vien have even fewer. Rather than declaring a neighborhood's fair monthly rent from a small sample, you should look for actual listings with a similar floor area, number of bedrooms, and furnishing condition. Conversely, in areas with many listings, do not look only at the monthly rent in the title; compare the full conditions, adding the deposit, prepayment, management fee, and utilities.

Actual detail listings show the differences well. The Ha Quang 2 studio is 6 million VND per month, with a 1-month deposit and 1-month prepayment listed. The Miya new-build 1-bedroom apartment is 55 m², 11 million VND per month, with a 1-month deposit and 1-month prepayment. The Muong Thanh 2-bedroom sea-view apartment is a 68 m² unfurnished unit at 14 million VND per month, with a 2-month deposit and 1-month prepayment. Even within the same rent table, the furniture and initial payment terms differ, so the monthly-rent figure alone makes it hard to judge which home is cheaper.

2. Choosing a neighborhood

Choose a neighborhood by your weekday living routes rather than by a tourist area's fame. Once your workplace or frequently visited places are set, place the map pins of candidate listings and check the actual travel routes. In Nha Trang, the roads that run alongside the sea, the roads going into the city center, and the roads crossing the river can feel different. Even if two places look close on the map, entrance direction or traffic by time of day can make it inconvenient, so the estimated commute time needs verification.

Downtown / Tran Phu, using both beach and city

Downtown / Tran Phu is the area with the most listings shown in the live list, at 171. It is a good place for people who want both beach living and the central commercial district to look at first, and with many candidates it is also easy to compare different layouts in the same building. High-rise apartments, buildings with heavy tourist traffic, and ordinary residential listings can be mixed within one category, so you need to distinguish the character of each building.

The advantage is the breadth of choice. You can adjust your budget while comparing furnished and unfurnished homes and homes with different numbers of bedrooms. The downside is that noise and congestion are hard to judge from the address alone. A home that was quiet during the day can be affected at night by the road, shops, and tourist traffic. When viewing a home, listen to the sound with the windows both closed and open, and check whether the bedroom faces the road.

The Thai Nguyen 2-bedroom apartment is a 70 m² downtown listing shown at 12 million VND per month. It also confirms 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, a 1-month deposit, and 1-month prepayment. There is wording that pets and electric scooters are allowed, but the detailed rules that currently apply and the minimum contract term need verification. Such living rules depend not on the neighborhood but on the building and landlord terms.

Phuoc Hai / Ha Quang, centered on everyday living

Phuoc Hai / Ha Quang showed 60 as of the live count. The list shows studios, apartments, and detached houses together, so you should match the housing type before comparing prices. Even under the same neighborhood name, building management, nearby shops, and road access can differ. Whether shops or services familiar to Koreans are nearby needs verification based on the exact address.

The low-price example in this area, the Ha Quang 2 studio, is 6 million VND per month. The page lists full furnishing, a 1-month deposit, and 1-month prepayment. Electricity is listed separately at 5,000 VND per kWh, water at 150,000 VND per person per month, and the management fee at 200,000 VND per month. There is wording for 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month contract options, with a 3-month minimum stated. However, you should re-check before signing whether the same terms go into the contract.

That the residential interior can have a different living rhythm from the tourist center is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If your workplace is toward downtown or the beach, check the actual morning and evening routes, and also look at where you can call a taxi and where to park a motorbike. It may suit people who often use local markets and restaurants, but the route and prices to places for imported ingredients or Korean food need on-site checking.

Vinh Diem Trung / VCN, for complex-style housing

Vinh Diem Trung / VCN showed 36. It is worth comparing for people who prefer complex-style apartments and want an everyday residential environment over the atmosphere of a central tourist area. However, even with the same complex name, the living feel can differ by block, entrance, parking method, and whether there is nearby construction. Do not sign after hearing only the building name; verify the exact block and entrance location.

The Miya new-build 1-bedroom apartment is an actual example in this area. The detail page lists 55 m², 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and 11 million VND per month. It states that Wi-Fi, garbage collection, and parking are included in the management fee, while electricity is separate at 4,500 VND per kWh and water at 150,000 VND per person per month. A 1-month deposit and 1-month prepayment are also shown. The move-in date and minimum contract term need verification as of now.

North / Hon Chong and South / An Vien

North / Hon Chong showed 17, and South / An Vien showed 4. Both areas have fewer public listings than Downtown / Tran Phu. Some people prioritize a beach view in the north or look for a quiet residential area in the south, but the view and the quietness must be checked directly for each listing. Being on the sea side does not mean the sea is visible from every home, and being in the south does not mean every road is quiet.

Phuoc Hoa / Xom Moi and listings that need location verification

Phuoc Hoa / Xom Moi has only 5, so it is hard to speak of a price trend from the public list alone. Listings grouped as Other / needs verification number 120, many, but not a comparison group with a confirmed area name. If you schedule a tour just because a place is cheap while the address is unclear, the travel route itself can change.

When you receive an address, check whether the building name, street name, map pin, and actual entrance all match. If the area category on the listing page differs from the address you received during consultation, confirm which information is the most recent. A Korean-dense living area may make it easy to find Korean food and Korean-language services, but listing prices or noise are not uniformly the same. A local living area may be good for using local markets and restaurants, but you should look separately at your commute and the route for buying Korean food. It is more accurate to compare the cost of living in the two areas using the on-site prices of items you buy often.

3. Pre-contract checklist

Organizing your questions before going to view a home can reduce the chance of only taking photos on site and missing important terms. Once you have an answer, do not leave it only in a messenger; confirm that it is reflected in the contract. Any of the items below whose values are missing from the page all need verification.

Rent and the first money you pay

Confirm the rent amount, payment date, payment currency, and the account holder for transfers. The deposit and prepaid rent are different sums of money, so write them down separately. The Ha Quang 2 studio, the Miya 1-bedroom, and the Thai Nguyen 2-bedroom show a 1-month deposit and 1-month prepayment. The Muong Thanh 2-bedroom sea view is a 2-month deposit and 1-month prepayment. The Gold Coast 2-bedroom apartment is a 2-month deposit and 2-month prepayment. Even looking only at actual listings, the initial payment method is not standardized into one form.

The deposit-refund terms should include how normal wear and tear is viewed, how damage costs are calculated, and when and by what method it is returned after move-out. Also confirm how the deposit and any remaining prepayment are handled upon early termination of the contract. Even if the detail page has deposit wording, if it does not also state the refund timing and deduction criteria, it needs verification.

Management fees and utilities

Ask whether the management fee is included in the rent, and if separate, whether it is a fixed amount or based on area. Also check item by item whether the management fee includes parking, Wi-Fi, garbage collection, and use of shared facilities. The Miya 1-bedroom page states that Wi-Fi, garbage collection, and parking are included in the management fee, but electricity and water are separate. The Ha Quang 2 studio lists a management fee of 200,000 VND per month separately.

Check whether electricity and water are billed at actual metered cost or at a unit price set by the landlord. The Ha Quang 2 studio shows electricity at 5,000 VND per kWh and water at 150,000 VND per person per month; the Miya 1-bedroom shows electricity at 4,500 VND per kWh and water at 150,000 VND per person per month. The Gold Coast 2-bedroom is stated as a management fee of 8,250 VND per m², electricity at 3,650 VND per kWh, water at 15,750 VND per m³, and Wi-Fi at 250,000 VND per month. These values are each listing's registered terms, not a common unit price for all of Nha Trang.

Before moving in, take photos of the electricity and water meters and check that they match the starting values on the first bill. For equipment that greatly affects usage, such as air conditioners and water heaters, also check that they work. Do not judge by hearsay that electricity bills run high; ask separately about the unit price, the metering method, and whether the previous tenant left any unpaid amounts.

Contract term and termination conditions

Confirm the minimum contract term, the renewal method, the notice period for early termination, penalties, and the landlord's early-termination conditions. Some listings, like the Ha Quang 2 studio, explicitly state a 3-month minimum and a choice of 3, 6, or 12 months, but other detail pages may have no term value or may have descriptions that do not match the data. For the Thai Nguyen 2-bedroom as well, it is safer to re-check the contract-term notation. An unclear minimum contract term needs verification.

If there is a chance your business travel or visa schedule may change, do not settle for only a verbal answer that it is flexible; read the contract wording. Also write down whether you can terminate if you find a replacement tenant, whether you can get back any remaining prepayment, and how utilities are settled if you leave before the contract expires.

Furniture and fixtures

Do not rely only on the phrase "fully furnished"; check item by item for a refrigerator, washing machine, bed, mattress, cooking equipment, air conditioner, water heater, and internet equipment. The Ha Quang 2 studio is marked as fully furnished, but the Muong Thanh 2-bedroom sea view is presented as unfurnished. For an unfurnished home, you must separately account for the items you need beyond the rent and whether installation is possible.

It is good to attach photos and current condition to the furniture list. On move-in day, photograph the walls, floor, windows, bathroom drainage, and the appliances working, and share them with the landlord. Rules on pets, smoking, visitors, bringing in electric scooters, and parking must be confirmed with both the building and the landlord. Even if the page says allowed, the management rules at the time of contract need verification.

4. Contract process and documents

A Nha Trang long-term housing contract is easier to do without mistakes if you proceed in the order of confirming the listing, agreeing on terms, reviewing the contract, and recording the move-in condition. When you find photos you like, do not transfer money right away; first match that the listing name on the public page and the actual unit you visited are the same. For a video tour, ask them to show, in real time, the building exterior, the entrance, the view out the window, the meters, and the appliances working.

In the first step, confirm that the landlord or a lawful representative is the contracting party. Documents showing the landlord's identity and authority to rent out the home, and, for a proxy contract, the delegation relationship, need verification. If the name of the contracting party and the account holder receiving the deposit differ, get the reason and evidence first. If the structure is one where the agent holds the deposit money, the holder and refund conditions must also be confirmed in writing.

Foreign tenants should check that the English name in the passport and the name in the contract are exactly the same. If there is family or a cohabitant living together, confirm with the landlord what information is needed for the contract and residence registration. Who handles the foreigner residence declaration or temporary-residence registration, when, and with what documents, also needs verification. Rather than just hearing that it was handled, it is better to request documents that confirm completion.

You should read the contract in a language you can understand. If it is written in two languages, confirm which language prevails when the meanings of the two texts differ. Cross-check item by item the address, unit, rent, deposit, prepayment, management fee, utilities, contract term, move-in date, move-out date, repair responsibility, early termination, deposit refund, and furniture list. Do not leave blanks as they are, and have the contracting parties confirm any corrections together.

Before transferring money, make clear the recipient and the nature of the amount. Whether it is a reservation deposit, a security deposit, or the first month's rent should be written on the receipt. If you pay in cash, get a receipt that confirms the date, amount, purpose, and recipient. For a remote contract, keep the full signed copy and the transfer request content. After signing and transferring, record the keys, access card, parking registration, internet handover, and meter starting values in the move-in confirmation.

Repair responsibility should also be divided before the contract. For situations that need to be distinguished from tenant misuse, such as air-conditioner breakdown, plumbing leaks, and aging appliances, confirm who is responsible for calling a technician and the cost. Also get the contact for emergencies and how to reach the building management office. For matters requiring legal or residency-related judgment, do not decide based only on the listing description; confirm the latest standards with the relevant authorities or a qualified professional.

5. Five common mistakes

First, calculating total cost from the rent figure alone

When comparing a 6 million VND listing with an 11 million VND listing, looking only at the rent difference gives a quick conclusion. But the actual pages differ in electricity and water unit prices, items included in the management fee, and furnishing condition. The Ha Quang 2 studio has a separate management fee, while the Miya 1-bedroom states that some services are included in the management fee. You should add utilities and needed furniture costs to the advertised rent and then judge whether it fits you.

Second, treating the deposit and prepayment as the same money

The deposit requires you to examine the refund terms after the contract ends, while the prepayment is rent paid in advance. The Muong Thanh 2-bedroom sea view shows a 2-month deposit and 1-month prepayment, and the Gold Coast 2-bedroom shows a 2-month deposit and 2-month prepayment. Do not just hear how many months you pay; separate each amount's name and whether it is refundable in the contract.

Third, fixing noise and routes after one daytime visit

Homes near the beach, a main road, shops, a construction site, or an elevator can sound different depending on the time of day. The window direction and bedroom location also matter. Do not leave after seeing only the inside of the home; walk from the building entrance to the road, and re-check the atmosphere around the time you usually come home. The exact commute time needs verification, and it is better not to trust a single calculation from a map app.

Fourth, taking "fully furnished" and "immediate move-in" wording at face value

The items in "fully furnished" differ by listing, and the furniture may have changed after the photos were taken. "Immediate move-in available" wording can also change due to a current tenant or repair schedule. After making a list, operate each item on site, and write down missing items and broken conditions in an annex list to the contract. For a listing clearly marked as unfurnished, like the Muong Thanh 2-bedroom sea view, first confirm whether bringing in needed furniture and installation are permitted.

Fifth, rushing the transfer and confirming the other party later

If you worry about losing a good home and send money before confirming the contract and the recipient, problems around refund terms easily arise. Transfer money after confirming the listing address and unit, rental authority, recipient, the purpose of the money, and refund conditions. The mere fact that the page actually exists does not confirm the authority of the party you are sending to. Keeping the link, conversation, contract, and receipt in one place makes it easy to cross-check later if terms change.

These five are a matter of order rather than special knowledge. Just keep the flow of looking at the price list, confirming the home, matching the terms in a document, and then transferring money. If you are pressed for an answer or the explanation keeps changing, it is safer not to decide on the spot but to write down the items that have not been confirmed.

6. Recommendations by budget

The recommendations below are not a ranking that decides the superiority of all Nha Trang listings. They are low-, mid-, and high-price registered examples chosen from actual detail pages that returned a 200 response as of July 24, 2026. The budget-tier boundaries were not created arbitrarily, and values such as rent, floor area, and deposit were carried over from the linked pages' displays. The listing condition and the latest availability need verification.

If you want to lower the rent burden

You can look at the Ha Quang 2 studio at 6 million VND per month. It is fully furnished with a 1-month deposit and 1-month prepayment, and there is a 3-month minimum notice. Because electricity, water, and the management fee are listed separately, you should not prepare only the rent. Review the utility unit prices on the detail page together with your own usage pattern.

If you are comparing bedrooms and living area together

The Miya new-build 1-bedroom, 55 m², 11 million VND per month is a complex-style housing example in Vinh Diem Trung / VCN. The Thai Nguyen 2-bedroom, 70 m², 12 million VND per month is an example in the downtown living area. Beyond the number of bedrooms and the floor area, you should re-check the former's management-fee-included items and the latter's rules on pets and electric scooters.

The Muong Thanh 2-bedroom, 68 m², 14 million VND per month is a sea-view unfurnished home in Downtown / Tran Phu. A 2-month deposit and 1-month prepayment are shown. If you already have furniture or plan to furnish it yourself, it is worth considering, but the conditions for bringing in and installing furniture need verification. Even homes that look in the same mid-price range differ completely in move-in preparation between fully furnished and unfurnished.

If you want to spend more on location and building quality

The Gold Coast 2-bedroom, 70 m², 30th floor, 26 million VND per month is an actual example at the top of this article's confirmed range. It shows 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a 2-month deposit, and 2-month prepayment. The management fee is 8,250 VND per m², and electricity, water, and Wi-Fi have separate unit prices listed. It shows that even if you pay a high rent, the management fee and utilities are not all automatically included.

For final candidates, compare homes that fit your lifestyle rather than one per price tier. Deciding first whether you really need furniture, how many bedrooms, which commute direction, and whether you have pet or parking conditions can reduce unnecessary tours. To look more broadly, you can check housing types and areas beyond monthly rentals at the Nha Trang city hub.

7. Nha Trang monthly-rent FAQ

Can foreigners sign a monthly-rent apartment lease in Nha Trang?

Whether a foreigner can actually reside there must be confirmed together with the listing, the landlord's rental authority, the building rules, and residency-related documents. Match the English name in the contract to the passport, and it is good to ask before the contract who handles the foreigner temporary-residence registration. Detailed requirements needing legal judgment require confirmation of the latest standards.

How much is monthly rent for an apartment near Nha Trang beach?

The comparison range for Nha Trang monthly rent confirmed in this article is 6 to 26 million VND per month. Downtown / Tran Phu showed 171 listings, and even within the same area the registered values differed by layout, furniture, view, and building. Do not set the market rate from the phrase near the beach alone; compare current listings with similar conditions.

How many months is a typical Nha Trang deposit?

It cannot be pinned to a single common condition. The actual examples confirmed included both listings with a 1-month deposit and listings with a 2-month deposit. Prepaid rent also had 1-month and 2-month cases, so write the deposit and prepayment separately in the contract.

Are electricity and water bills for a Nha Trang apartment included in the rent?

It differs by listing. The detail pages confirmed had cases where electricity and water were listed as separate unit prices, and the unit prices and billing criteria also differed. Confirm whether it is actual metered cost or a registered unit price, whether the meter is used solely by you, and whether water is billed by usage or by number of people.

What is included in a Nha Trang apartment management fee?

It depends on the listing and the building. The Miya 1-bedroom page stated that Wi-Fi, garbage collection, and parking are included in the management fee, while the Ha Quang 2 studio showed a management fee of 200,000 VND per month separately. The included items and shared-facility usage fees need item-by-item confirmation before the contract.

How long is the minimum contract term for long-term housing in Nha Trang?

It cannot be pinned to a uniform term. The Ha Quang 2 studio has a 3-month minimum, with 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month options confirmed. Other listings may have no term or conflicting notations, so confirm the available term, renewal, and early-termination conditions separately.

How much furniture is included in a fully furnished Nha Trang apartment rental?

The scope of fully furnished differs by listing. You should get a list of the refrigerator, washing machine, bed, air conditioner, water heater, cooking equipment, and internet equipment. It is good to confirm the actual working condition and attach to the contract a furniture list from the time of move-in, not from a photo.

What documents should I check when signing a Nha Trang monthly-rent contract?

Confirm the passport name and the contracting party's information, the exact address and unit, materials showing rental authority, and the delegation relationship for a proxy contract. Check whether the contract includes rent, deposit, prepayment, management fee, utilities, term, termination, repairs, deposit refund, and the furniture list.

Can I sign a Nha Trang long-term stay in advance from Korea?

If you proceed remotely, rather than only receiving a recorded video, it is better to confirm the exterior, entrance, unit, view out the window, and the meters and appliances working in real time. Before transferring money, confirm the contracting party, the recipient, and the refund conditions, and keep the signed copy and receipt. If possible, it is better to go through an on-site check or a trustworthy proxy check.
