My 3 year lease ends in 3 months. My landlord says I can break my lease now with no penalty if I find a house before then. It will probably cost me $100 US to get the house clean and repair my cat’s damage (he found one really nice scratch post that will need to be repainted).
I will be more selective with my roommates in the next house since it will also be my office. Two have expressed interest so far. I hope the house in District 4 is still available in the next month or two. It was really nice but an issue about security is coming up in that area.
I do prefer to stay in the Phu Nhuan area, if possible. I do not want a big house though. I know where all the good restaurants are located here now 🙂
As someone who’d lived in District 4 for more than 10 years, I would say it depends very much on where you live when it comes to security. It used to be a notorious district. However, I never had an issue before since I live right at the front street. Where’s the location?
You’ve been in VN for 3 yearsssssss? almost enough for you to think as a Vietnamese 😀 G’luck with your new apartment.
@Anh Hung: Along the canal in the alleyway. This area is supposed to be safe.
@Chip: I have been in Vietnam over 4 and a half years 🙂
