Shortage of villas for rent in Ho Chi Minh CityVillas for rent in Ho Chi Minh City have now mostly been booked up, though their rental fees are up to $6,000 a month per villa.An Phu mansion area in District 2 has 200 villas which are all full. Another villa area named Thien Nga nearby is too filled, though rents here are US$3,500-6,000 a month. Most tenants signed contracts lasting 1-2 years. Another villa area covering thousands of square meters on Phung Khac Khoan Street in district 1 belonging to the Foreign Trade Development and Investment Corporation is also booked up. Recognizing the high demand for villas, the company has been building more mansions on prominent land plots in downtown areas, but while they are yet to be finished, they have been booked by either firms, investors or speculators, a company employee said. Here, fees are $18-20 per square meter and a rental contract must have duration of at least one year. State-run Service Company to Foreign Missions (Fosco) said villas on Ba Huynh Thanh Quan Street in district 3 charging $1,700-1,900 per month per villa had been filled for the past six months. Thirty mansions up to $3,000 a month in rents overseen by Fosco have also been full. Meanwhile, rental fees for offices have gone up 30 percent from $23 per square meter a month to nearly $30 in the city. Source: Tuoi Tre – Translated by Hoang Bao |
