- 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.

Commercial leases enjoy greater contractual freedom than residential leases. Most terms are freely negotiable between the parties.
