Many rental housing areas create shared living spaces and sports facilities for tenants.
After the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Snake 2025, Ms. Pham Thi Luyen's family (from Co Do District, Can Tho City) moved to Ben Luc District to look for work. Their young child was approaching school age, so the couple prioritized finding accommodation near the market and schools. Ms. Luyen said: “I was very satisfied with a row of rental rooms in an alley in Hamlet 1, Nhut Chanh Commune, because it was quiet, airy, and had a mezzanine. The landlord was also friendly and enthusiastic. The rent was 1 million VND/month, which is quite reasonable compared to the general market.” Due to increased labor demand after the Lunar New Year, the couple quickly found suitable jobs. Every day, they leave their child at a daycare center near their rental property before going to work.
Mr. Luong Pham Thai Son (Ho Chi Minh City) specializes in constructing parking lots. Due to the nature of his work, he frequently changes his rented accommodation. Mr. Son recounted: “A few years ago, I rented a room without a gate. Initially, I was a little worried because I had a lot of tools, but I thought it would be fine since I was only staying for a short time. Unexpectedly, one day after returning from a coffee shop, I found the lock on my room door had been cut, and some valuable tools were missing. The landlord wasn't there, and the building didn't have security cameras, so I had no choice but to accept it.”
From then on, Mr. Son learned his lesson and avoided renting rooms that didn't guarantee safety and security. He preferred quiet accommodations, ideally with shared living spaces or areas for exercise. For projects requiring many people, Mr. Son rented entire houses to have more space and more freedom of movement. Currently, he rents a house in a residential area in Ben Luc district.
Many migrant workers, who had previously worked in various places, found Long An easy to live in and the people friendly, so they decided to stay. Ms. Le Thu Ha, originally from Phu Yen province, moved to the South at the age of 16. Currently, she works as a waitress in a restaurant in Ward 6, Tan An City. Her rented room costs 800,000 VND per month, has a mezzanine, a sturdy gate, security cameras, and regulated entry and exit times. “I am very satisfied with my current accommodation. Before, I lived in another row of rented rooms, but because the security wasn't good, thieves broke in and stole clothes and some belongings. I was so scared that I moved out.” Currently, Ms. Ha is working hard, saving money, and accumulating funds to return to her hometown and open a beauty salon.
Mr. Pham Hoang Tha manages nearly 500 rental rooms in Can Giuoc district. To ensure security , he collaborates with the local police to install electronic door access control systems and digitize management. All rental rooms are solidly built and equipped with complete fire prevention and fighting systems and emergency exits.
Mr. Tha said: “Currently, workers and laborers mainly look for rooms priced around 1-1.3 million VND/month. Typically, new tenants have to pay one month's rent and one month's deposit. Those with stable jobs are fine, but for those who have just arrived from the countryside and haven't found work yet, it's a burden. Therefore, for these cases, I only take a 500,000 VND deposit. In addition, I also partner with businesses to help tenants find jobs or transport and install household equipment.”
Many boarding houses have wide corridors, allowing fire trucks to easily access the premises in case of a fire. This is one of the advantages that attracts tenants.
Some landlords also build communal living spaces and sports fields for their tenants, providing material and emotional support to help them feel comfortable and secure while living and working.
