TL;DR
If an extra occupant was not agreed in advance, the landlord may ask to revise the rental terms. Reported figures included VND 1.5 million for residence registration and a VND 4 million increase for a three-month rental payment.
Get the owner’s approval before an additional person moves in and before the next payment date; otherwise the landlord may revise the rent. In the reported case, the increase was VND 4 million on a three-month payment.
The owner requested VND 1.5 million to arrange residence registration for the additional occupant. Before move-in, confirm whether this is a one-off registration charge or part of a revised rental rate.
If the lease names specific tenants or sets an occupancy limit, adding another person can be treated as a contract change. Put the new rent, payment period, and registration arrangement in writing, particularly when paying three months in advance.
