Commercial security deposits in Vietnam are governed entirely by the principle of freedom of contract. There is no statutory cap, and deposit amounts are typically significantly higher than in residential leases.
Typical Commercial Deposit Amounts
Commercial Bond Process in national
Negotiate Bond
Agree on bond type and amount during commercial lease negotiations.
Collect Security
Receive bank guarantee or cash bond before tenant takes possession.
Hold During Tenancy
Keep the bond securely for the full commercial tenancy duration.
Release or Claim
Return bond at lease end if no outstanding obligations, or make claims for documented breaches.
Essential Lease Provisions
Commercial lease agreements must clearly specify:
- Deposit amount — Exact sum in VND
- Interest on deposit — Whether the deposit earns interest
- Deposit increases — Whether the deposit adjusts when rent increases
- Return timeline — Typically 30-90 days after lease termination
- Permitted deductions — Repairs, unpaid rent, contract breaches
- Bank guarantee option — Whether a bank guarantee may substitute for a cash deposit
Bank Guarantees
In major commercial transactions, tenants may offer a bank guarantee instead of a cash deposit:
- A bank issues a standby letter of credit to the landlord
- The landlord can claim against the guarantee if the tenant breaches
- Common for Grade A offices and large retail spaces
- Preferred by multinational tenants
Best Practices
- Detailed provisions — Spell out all deposit conditions clearly
- Condition survey — Document property condition at handover
- Insurance requirement — Require tenant property insurance
- Credit assessment — Evaluate the tenant's financial capacity before signing
