TL;DR

Search Facebook Marketplace and district-specific rental groups, or walk around your preferred neighborhood and ask owners directly to skip agent markups. A studio/one-bedroom directly from an owner runs roughly $160-200/month, while listings in expat Telegram/Facebook groups are often marked up to $400-600/month.

For an affordable long-term apartment, check a Zalo group with listings under 10 million VND per month and the Chợ Tốt classifieds site.

The most reliable method is Facebook Marketplace or district/city-specific rental groups. After posting your request, local agents will message you with matching options for your budget.

Facebook Marketplace

One traveler picked a place to live simply by walking around a neighborhood they liked, checking out the look of the houses and the vibe of the area before arranging viewings.

Renting directly from the owner is noticeably cheaper — around 4-5 million VND/month for an apartment — versus listings from middlemen in Telegram/Facebook groups, which are often priced at 10-15 million VND, with the difference going to the reseller.

A cheap and direct method is to walk through a neighborhood you like and ask house owners in person whether they have vacant apartments and at what price.
