In Nha Trang, a monthly apartment with air conditioning typically costs about 6–15 million VND depending on area and apartment type, with utilities often adding another 1–3 million VND per month. The biggest variable is electricity: heavy AC use can reach around 360+ kWh monthly, so it’s smart to record the meter reading when you move in.
What the community said
For a one-month stay, travelers usually need to budget for both rent and utilities separately: in Nha Trang, your real monthly cost is often the apartment price plus electricity, water, and sometimes building fees. For a place with AC, a practical total budget is often around 7–18 million VND per month.

Electricity is usually the biggest utility expense. In one discussed case, the tenant expected about 360 kWh per month based on usage, but the landlord billed 520 kWh instead, creating a major overcharge. If you’re renting for a month or longer, it’s wise to photograph the meter on move-in day and check it weekly.
