   Here is the Long-Term Rentals List !

In Cambodia, at least for now, you do not need to pay agent fee. It is generally paid by landlord once the property is rented.

In Phnom Penh, just like anywhere else, systematically have long term lease policy starts from at least 6 months, so it is tough if you will only be here temporarily or looking for a next home but does not plan to stay long. Plus, shorter the lease is, higher the rental fee is.

+ Terms and conditions of apartments/ condominiums/ villas lease in Phnom Penh:

• Generally 1 years lease.
• 1 – 2 months security deposit or 1- 3 months for villas/ gated community houses.
• 1 month advanced rental fee.
• In case of early contract termination, security deposit will not be refunded.
• Pet condition (If tenant has a pet).
• A single bedroom unit, maximum 2 persons allowed.
• 2 bedrooms unit, maximum 4 persons allowed.
• Shortest term lease is 3 months minimum. (Only around 10% of the apartments accept it and the price is often higher and non-negotiable).

You can pay by cash directly to landlord/building management team, bank transfer,  KHQR code, and by check (need to check first). 

Security deposit shall not refunded and you have to clear unpaid bills.

You need to pay 2 to 4 months of agreed rental fee to apartment management team or directly to landlord (depend on property and you can check with your agent), 1 month rental use as advance rental and other 2 or 3 months as security deposit. At the end of lease agreement security deposit is the subject to return back to tenant after deduct from any damage (if any) and unpaid bills. Think of it as insurance for the apartment landlords.

The official Cambodia currency is Khmer Riel (៛). However, US$ dollar is widely accepted using in Cambodia.

Electricity usage, water usage, garbage fee, internet & security guard (most of properties already included in rent).

Electricity in Cambodia is relatively expensive compared to Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos due to limited domestic supply. The official rate from EDC is around $0.18/kWh, but apartments and condominiums usually charge $0.25–$0.35/kWh to cover management costs, common area usage, and backup generator fuel.

Water usage in Phnom Penh is affordable, typically costing $0.25–$0.75 per m³, or a fixed fee of about $5–$10 per person per month in many apartments and condos.

It is common in the real estate market—not only on our website—that some listed properties may no longer be available. With over 8,200 active listings, it is not possible to reconfirm availability with every landlord or apartment owner on a daily basis.

In many buildings, there are multiple units with similar layouts. Even if one unit has been rented, another with the same design may still be available, or a unit may become available soon due to a contract ending or an unexpected termination.

For this reason, we kindly ask clients to confirm availability with our sales team first before making plans. Our team will check the latest status and suggest the best matching options for you.

To be short, there is no fire/ building insurance for apartments/ condominiums in Phnom Penh.

Let we explain one by one:

• Town-house:
  – Individual ownership for whole house or by floor in the building (highest up to 4 or 5 floors).
  – Lower rental price (most of them).
  – Semi-furnished/basic furniture (depend on landlord).
  – No security guards.
  – No any facilities.
  – No serviced provided (if have sometime only internet).
  – Need to find cleaner/house mate or other things by yourself.
  – No maintenance or poor maintenances.
  – Only motorbike or bicycle parking lots.
• Condominium:
  – Individual ownership per unit in complex of building.
  – Basic furniture provided by landlord (most of them).
  – If has any problem occurred you need to handle directly to owner (Ex. AC or washing machine not work or water leaking etc.)
  – Rental price is similar to Serviced Apartments (depend on landlord and level of floor)
  – Not provided services (if provide only management fee & home speed internet) , more additional extra charges
  – Security guard’s standby
  – Car or motor parking (extra charges)
  – Elevator and backup generator running only lift.
• Serviced Apartment:
  – Whole building is only one owner/landlord (managed by one landlord or one management company)
  – Basic furniture (some properties also provided kitchenware)
  – Provided services similar to hotel (Ex. room cleaning services,using of facilities(swimming pool/fitness center/sauna/steam if have), – – Internet and maintenance services)
  – Rental price more expensive than town-house or condominium
  – Security guard’s standby
  – Front desk/receptionist standby
  – Provided car/motor parking lots (some properties tenant need to pay extra charge)
  – Elevators and backup generator running for whole building (need to double check)

Serviced apartment is more professional services providing, consistent quality like house keeping service (room cleaning:1 to 5 times per week & bed linen changing), internet, cable TV, parking space and safety standards. While Airbnb can provide flexibility with unique properties and diverse hosts, it may lack consistent services standard.
