Land Use Rights
Vietnam operates on a land use rights system (not freehold ownership). Tenants must verify:
- The landlord's Land Use Rights Certificate (LURC)
- Remaining term of the land use allocation
- Compatibility of designated land use purpose
Rent Must Be in VND
Commercial rent must be quoted and paid in Vietnamese Dong (VND). Quoting in USD or other foreign currencies can render the contract void.
Freedom of Contract
Commercial leases enjoy greater contractual freedom than residential leases. Most terms are freely negotiable between the parties.
