TL;DR
In Da Nang, the property owner normally pays the agent’s commission rather than the tenant. Before signing, confirm in writing the property type and whether free police registration can be arranged.
For rentals in Vietnam, the property owner normally pays the agent’s fee. A no-fee arrangement for the tenant is therefore standard practice rather than a special promotion.
Try local Vietnamese agents rather than relying only on Russian-speaking groups: the same apartment may be listed at a lower price through a local agent.
Before renting, ask the agent or owner to confirm the property status in writing: commercial housing (thương mại) or social housing (nhà ở xã hội). This can affect whether police registration is available.
Police registration is needed for visa compliance and, according to the advice shared, should be arranged free of charge. Confirm this before paying a deposit.
