How Renting Works
- 01Before you search
Set your budget
Budget 25–30% of your income for rent, plus electricity, water and internet. The common-area (CAM) fee is paid by the owner, not the tenant.
Tip: Tell us your budget and move-in date and we'll send a shortlist that fits — free.
- 02Day 1
Choose your area
Live near BTS or MRT to cut commute time and transport costs significantly. Key expat areas: Sukhumvit, Sathorn, Silom, Thonglor, On Nut.
Tip: Walk from the station at rush hour before you commit — the map distance hides the heat and the crossings.
- 03Week 1
View & compare
Our agents arrange in-person viewings and provide honest comparisons — no pressure to choose anything you're not fully happy with.
Tip: Visit once after dark too: street noise, lighting and the walk home all change at night.
- 04Before signing
Review the lease
We review the lease with you and flag any unusual clauses. Standard leases are 1 year with 1–2 months deposit plus 1 month advance rent.
Tip: Get the deposit-return terms and the furniture inventory in writing, attached to the lease.
- 05Move-in day
Move in
On handover day, document the property's condition carefully. Keep photos. Ensure utilities are transferred to your name.
Tip: Photograph every room and the meter readings at handover — it's your proof when the deposit comes back.
What will it cost to move in?
