TL;DR
In Da Nang, participants in August–September 2026 recommended finding an apartment through Facebook rental groups: post your own request with your budget and requirements in English and Vietnamese, add your Zalo QR code, and choose from offers by many agents. To get a decent flat at a decent price, they advised looking at many options and arranging viewings quickly. In September 2026 a participant advised against hiring a dedicated agent because of fees and the risk of scams.
Agent or do it yourself: asked whether to use an agent, a participant in September 2026 said no — in their experience it means a risk of scams and extra fees, and it is better to search yourself through Facebook groups. One house-hunter noted that her posts in rental groups were not getting published for some reason, which is why she was looking for an agent.
Do not just reply to listings — post your own request: in late August 2026 a participant advised posting in Facebook rental groups with your budget and apartment requirements, in both English and Vietnamese. In September 2026 another participant gave the same advice — post a 'looking for' ad in the housing groups for the specific city.
Add your Zalo QR code to the post so agents and landlords can contact you directly. According to a participant in August 2026, such a post brings offers from a crowd of agents, and you can choose from many options.
Speed matters: in August 2026 participants advised that in Da Nang you need volume — look at many options to find a decent flat at a decent price — and not to delay viewing the ones you like, as they may be rented to someone else.
