Key Legal Distinctions for Commercial Leases

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.

Recent Legislative Changes
