By the Vietnam Expat team. Last reviewed 2026-09-21Nobody publishes a Da Nang rent index we could open, so every rent below is an asking price. An asking price is what an ad wants, and we do not know what tenants finally sign [2][3].
We read 5,287 ads on 21 September 2026: 115 live ads on Muaban.net, a Vietnamese-language portal, and 5,172 on Dot Property, which is in English [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Dollar figures use Vietcombank's transfer rate of 25,820 dong per US dollar that day [1].
What is the Da Nang rent cost for each flat size?
A one-bedroom asked a median 14 million dong a month on Dot Property and 10.5 million on Muaban.net, and a two-bedroom asked 20 million and 15 million [2][3][4]. The median is the middle ad when we sort by price.
A three-bedroom flat asked 33 million dong, a house 35 million and a villa 70 million [6][7][8].
| Home [2] | Portal | Ads read | Median, million dong | Middle half, million dong | US dollars |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | Dot Property | 29 | 7.2 | 6.5 to 11.0 | 279 |

Source: our reading of the Muaban.net and Dot Property Da Nang rental lists, 2026-09-21; asking rents in million dong a month, median and middle half of the ads read; dollars at 25,820 dong per US dollar [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].
Dot Property shows only the newest 1,250 ads of a list. The one-bedroom row covers 1,250 of 3,616 ads and the house row 1,250 of 2,121 [3][7].
Many ads repeat each other. Of the Dot Property ads that state a size, 28 to 64 percent in the four 1,250-ad lists match another ad on ward, size, bedroom count and price, and dropping them moves each median by 10 million dong or less [3][4][5][6][7][8].
On Muaban.net, 39 of the 114 priced ads match an earlier one the same way. Without them the one-bedroom median rises from 10.5 to 12 million dong and the two-bedroom median stays at 15 million [2].
What does a house or villa cost to rent in Da Nang?
A house asked a median 35 million dong a month and a villa 70 million on Dot Property, from the newest 1,250 ads of each list [7][8]. The middle house has 100 square meters and the middle villa 250 [7][8].
| Bedrooms [7] | House ads | House median | Villa ads | Villa median |

A three- or four-bedroom house asked 30 to 40 million dong, or 1,162 to 1,549 US dollars [1][7]. Villa asks start at 22 million and reach 300 million, so read the bedroom count before the word villa [8].
Which Da Nang area is cheapest for rent?
Lien Chieu and Cam Le are the cheapest districts in the ads. Their one-bedrooms asked a median 9 million dong and their two-bedrooms 12 to 12.5 million, and Thanh Khe matches the 9 million for a one-bedroom [3][4].
Son Tra, Ngu Hanh Son and Hai Chau ask 14 to 15 million for a one-bedroom and 20 to 23 million for a two-bedroom on Dot Property [3][4].

Both portals still file ads under the old district names. Ask for the ward as well when you compare a listing with an official notice.
What do the beach wards cost?
The ads that name An Thuong sit mostly under the old My An ward: 71 of 98 one-bedrooms and 100 of 115 two-bedrooms [3][4]. My An asked a median 16 million dong for a one-bedroom and 19 million for a two-bedroom [3][4].
| Old ward, district [3] | 1-bed ads | 1-bed median | 2-bed ads | 2-bed median |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Source: Dot Property one-bedroom and two-bedroom lists for Da Nang, newest 1,250 ads of each, 2026-09-21; seven old wards from our reading of those lists, a selection and not a ranking by ad count, median asking rent in million dong a month [3][4].
Ads that mention My Khe sit under at least four old wards: My An, Phuoc My, An Hai Dong and Man Thai [3]. My Khe names a beach, so it does not pin down a ward.
What do the new ward names mean for a listing?
Since the 2025 merger Da Nang has 23 wards, 70 communes and one special zone, and listings still use the older names [9]. Ngu Hanh Son ward now covers the old My An, Khue My, Hoa Hai and Hoa Quy wards [9].
An Hai ward covers Phuoc My, An Hai Bac and An Hai Nam. Son Tra ward covers Tho Quang, Nai Hien Dong and Man Thai [9].
Do English-language ads ask more than Vietnamese ones in Da Nang?
For one-bedrooms, yes, by about a third: 14 million dong on Dot Property against 10.5 million on Muaban.net [2][3]. For two-bedrooms the gap depends on the district, and in Lien Chieu and Hai Chau the two portals sit within half a million dong of each other [2][4].
A newsletter wrote in May 2026 that English-language sites quote 14 to 19 million dong for a one-bedroom in An Thuong and My An that lists at 7 to 9 million on Vietnamese platforms [14]. We could not reproduce that on Muaban.net, where the eight My An one-bedroom ads asked 10 to 29 million [2].
Inside Muaban.net, nine one-bedroom ads with English text asked a median 15 million dong against 9 million for 33 Vietnamese-only ads. Two-bedroom ads asked 15 million either way [2].
Nha Tot and Batdongsan.com.vn refused our scripts. So this is one portal's answer and may not match the wider local market.
What does a given budget rent in Da Nang?
An ad asking 8 million dong offers a 63 square meter two-bedroom in a Lien Chieu tower, and one asking 25 million offers a 70 square meter two-bedroom with a Han River view [2].

What comes on top of the rent in Da Nang?
For a 60 square meter flat with two people using 300 kWh, bills and the building fee add about 1.2 to 1.8 million dong a month at official rates and 2.7 million at the rates that ads state [1][2][17][19][20][21].
| Item, monthly [2] | Official rate, dong | Rate seen in ads, dong |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity, 300 kWh | 739,500 before VAT | 1,200,000 at 4,000 per kWh |
| Water, two people | 36,400 | 300,000 at 150,000 each |

Does the landlord's electricity price match EVN's?
Only six of the 115 ads say it does, by naming the state or EVN price. Most say nothing, and one asks 4,000 dong per kWh [2].
EVN's household tiers run from 1,984 to 3,460 dong per kWh before VAT [17]. BaseDanang and HitchHive both say landlords usually charge 3,500 to 4,000 [15][16].
At 300 kWh a month, 4,000 dong per kWh costs 62 percent more than the EVN tiers before VAT [2][17].
For students and workers who rent a home, a lease under 12 months with occupants the landlord has not declared makes EVN bill the whole meter at the tier 3 price of 2,380 dong [17][18].
The Government Portal reports fines of 20 to 30 million dong from 25 May 2026 for a landlord of rented rooms who charges above the state price [22].
What is the building management fee?
Da Nang's Decision 78/2026/QD-UBND sets a frame of 4,400 to 13,200 dong per square meter a month for buildings with a lift, in force from 10 June 2026 [21]. Of 14 ads that mention the fee, seven include it or waive it, three leave it out and four state a price [2].
Two Vista ads state 17,000 dong per square meter, above the frame's top, and two Son Tra Ocean View ads state 564,000 dong a month [2][21]. We did not check whether the frame binds those buildings.
How much deposit do Da Nang landlords ask, and how is rent paid?
Of the ads that state them, most ask for one month's deposit and rent paid three months at a time. Of the 37 Muaban.net ads that name a deposit, 33 ask one month, and 34 of the 35 that name a payment rhythm mention three months [2].
| What the ad says [2] | Ads that say it | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | 37 of 115 | 33 say one month, 2 say two months, 1 says one month on a six-month lease and two on a 12-month lease, 1 gives no amount. |
| Payment rhythm | 35 of 115 | 34 mention three months and 2 mention six months; one ad mentions both. |
| Lease term | 32 of 115 | 19 say one year, 9 say six months, 4 accept three months. |
| Furniture | 91 of 115 | 89 say full, new or high-end furniture and 5 say basic furniture; 3 offer both. |
| Pets | 12 of 115 | 10 forbid pets and 2 allow them, both in the Vista building. |
Source: our reading of the 115 live Muaban.net ads with full descriptions, 2026-09-21; counts of ads, and one landlord may post several [2].
Article 328 of the Civil Code, as the Ministry of Justice's legal portal quotes it, lets the taker keep a deposit if the giver backs out. If the taker backs out, the taker returns the deposit plus an equal sum, unless the two agreed otherwise [24].
Article 163 of the 2023 Housing Law says a lease is agreed by the parties and put in writing, with contents that include the term and how rent is paid, according to a LuatVietnam explainer [23]. Whether either rule fits your lease is a question for a Vietnamese lawyer.
Can you negotiate rent in Da Nang?
Only one of 115 ads says the price can be negotiated, and two put a discount in writing [2]. A Vista ad offers a discount on a one-year lease and gives no figure [2].
The other is an Ori Garden ad that asks 3.7 million dong a month on a three-month rhythm and 3.5 million on a six-month rhythm, which is 5 percent less [2].
BaseDanang says offering three months upfront often unlocks 10 to 15 percent off [15]. In the Muaban.net ads, three months at a time is already the usual rhythm, and the one written rhythm discount is the 5 percent for six months above [2].
One ad ties the deposit to the lease length. An FPT Plaza 2 ad asks a one month deposit on a six-month lease and two months on a 12-month lease [2].
Is the advertised Da Nang rent budget real?
For the rent lines, mostly yes. The guides' one-bedroom ranges top out near the middle ask in the beach wards, and only serviced flats miss by much [3][4][13][15][16]. Their electricity price of 3,500 to 4,000 dong per kWh is above EVN's top tier of 3,460 before VAT [15][16][17].
| Guide's rent line [1] | Guide says, million dong | What ads say, million dong |

| BaseDanang, studio near An Thuong or My Khe | 7.7 to 11.6 | 7.2 median on Dot Property, 29 ads [5][15]. |

How much does it cost to live in Da Nang?
For one person, rent runs about 8.8 million dong a month outside the centre on Numbeo crowd reports and 14 million at the Dot Property median, so the whole month comes to roughly 20.6 to 25.7 million dong, or 797 to 997 US dollars [1][3].
Our Da Nang cost of living guide prices food, transport, school and bills for one person, a couple and a family.
How much money do you need to live in Da Nang, Vietnam?
Add the rent you can accept to about 11.7 million dong (454 US dollars) for everything else a single person spends, which is Numbeo's estimate built from crowd reports [1].
| Rent level [1] | Rent, million dong | Rent plus other costs, million dong | US dollars |

What is the average price of a flat in Da Nang?
Sale prices run from about 51 million dong per square meter in Muaban.net asking prices to 69 million on the Batdongsan.com.vn average for the second quarter of 2026 and 83 million for new launches, per CBRE [29][30][31].

A one-bedroom for sale on Muaban.net asked a median 2.1 billion dong and a two-bedroom 3.3 billion [31]. A year of the median rent from the same portal is 126 million dong for a one-bedroom and 180 million for a two-bedroom, or 6.0 and 5.5 percent of those prices [2][31].
REFI puts Da Nang's gross rental yield at 4.34 percent for the second quarter of 2026 [32]. Our ratios run higher, and they compare sale ads and rent ads for different buildings. For sale prices by project, see our Da Nang property prices guide.
Are Da Nang rents going up?
Every signal we found points up, and none comes from a rent index we could open. CafeBiz reported on 5 February 2026 that Da Nang rents were up 10 to 15 percent on the same period a year earlier, and Avison Young expects occupancy above 85 percent in 2026 [10].
Tuoi Tre wrote on 11 April 2026 that rents for homes in Da Nang rose 2.03 percent in March, in a passage that follows the Da Nang Statistics Office's latest report [11].
CafeF said on 25 April 2026 that rents in Hai Chau, Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son were up more than 10 percent on a year earlier [12].
Tuoi Tre says most workers in Da Nang earn 7 to 12 million dong a month, and the Region II minimum wage that covers Hai Chau, Thanh Khe, Son Tra, Ngu Hanh Son, Lien Chieu and Cam Le wards is 4,730,000 dong [11][33].
The Muaban.net one-bedroom median of 10.5 million is 2.2 times that minimum [2][33].
Which rules touch a Da Nang rental for a foreigner?
Beyond the deposit and lease rules above, three more: the landlord's residence declaration, the limit on pricing in foreign currency, and the landlord's tax filing. We quote each from an official or legal source, and none of this is legal advice.
Who declares your stay to the police?
The person who runs the accommodation declares a foreigner's stay to the ward or commune police, and has to ask for your passport first, under Article 33 of Law 47/2014/QH13 as amended by Law 23/2023/QH15 [25].
Decree 282/2025/ND-CP, in force from 15 December 2025, fines a provider 3 to 5 million dong for one to three undeclared foreigners [26]. We could not confirm a current deadline in hours, so ask the ward police.
Can you pay Da Nang rent in US dollars?
Article 22 of the Ordinance on Foreign Exchange, as amended in 2013, says transactions, listings, price quotations and pricing in contracts in Vietnam may not be made in foreign exchange, except as the State Bank permits [27].
Every ad we read priced rent in dong: all 115 on Muaban.net and all 5,172 on Dot Property [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. BaseDanang quotes dollars for its readers, but the ads use dong. How Article 22 applies to your lease is a question for a lawyer.
Who pays tax on the rent?
The landlord files it when an individual rents to an individual, says the Government Portal's guidance on Decree 68/2026/ND-CP of 5 March 2026 [28].
Annual rental revenue of 500 million dong or less carries no personal income tax and no VAT. Above it, VAT is 5 percent of revenue and income tax is 5 percent of the excess [28]. The 500 million covers all of one person's rental income, about 41.7 million dong a month [28].
How it applies to a given landlord is a question for a tax adviser.
What should you ask before you sign a Da Nang lease?
Ask what the rent includes, what you pay per kWh, how long the lease runs, how the deposit comes back, whether the landlord declares your stay, and which currency the lease uses.
- What does the rent include? Of the 14 ads that mention the building fee, seven include it and three do not [2][21].
- What price per kWh do you pay? EVN's tiers run from 1,984 to 3,460 dong before VAT, and one ad asks 4,000 [2][17].
- How long is the lease, and does the deposit change with it? Ads ask for 3, 6 or 12 months, and one ties a two-month deposit to the 12-month lease [2].
- How and when does the deposit come back? Article 328 sets a default if either side backs out [24].
- Will the landlord declare your stay to the ward police, and by when? Decree 282/2025/ND-CP fines providers that do not [26].
- Is the rent in dong? Article 22 restricts foreign exchange in pricing and payment [27].
