How much does a monthly or long-term apartment rental cost in Nha Trang, and what lease terms are typical?

One renter reported paying around 140 (thousand VND) per day for short-term stay, versus about 150 (thousand VND) per day in Da Nang. Monthly rental prices were noticeably cheaper back in May compared to now, suggesting rates have risen since then. Their target monthly budget was around 2 million VND.

Be cautious with listings advertising unusually low rental prices: such rates often apply only to leases of at least 12 months, and the apartment itself may not even exist (a fake listing). One user noted that such low prices are no longer available on the market.

Rental prices vary a lot by residential complex: per-square-meter rates range from 250,000 to 1,000,000 VND, and a 2-room apartment typically costs 15–20 million VND per month. Figures like 30–40 million VND refer to villas/two-story houses, not regular apartments — a standard apartment lease usually doesn't exceed about 16 million VND.

In practice, landlords require payment upfront even before showing the apartment — no one will show a place without prepayment, especially for stays of just a couple of days.

Recent listings show that good apartments close to central Nha Trang are often available for around 20,000–23,000 RUB per month.

If you only need an apartment for 1 month, it may be difficult to secure one because many listings are aimed at long-term renters rather than short stays.

For long-term rentals, a practical budget starting point is about 25,000 RUB per month, depending on the apartment’s condition and location.

Some apartments come with stricter standard terms: besides the monthly rent, landlords may require 2 months paid upfront plus a separate security deposit.
