Real Estate for Rent in Cambodia

Residential rental contracts

There are no restrictions placed upon foreigners seeking a condo for rent in Cambodia, or for that matter any other residential property. Contracts are flexible, ranging from a one-month rolling contract, to six-month contracts and a year or more. Typically landlords will ask for a month’s deposit with a further month’s rent in advance. The deposit is often used to cover the final month’s rent.

Contract terms can vary considerably from landlord to landlord, so when looking for real estate for rent in Cambodia be prepared to negotiate. The team of professional advisers at Pointer are willing to advise you on these matters.

Utilities: Electricity, Water, TV and Internet

You should allow for utilities in your budget. Electricity should be charged at the state Electricite du Cambodge (EDC) rate, although sometimes landlord will try to add a supplement. The cost of water in Cambodia is negligible, at about US$5 per month, the same as for Cable TV, although this will often be included in your rental fee. Internet will probably only be included in serviced apartments, but it is easy to get installed and reasonably cheap, with many internet providers competing for your business, except for in more remote areas.
