Renting in Hangzhou — without the guesswork
We help foreigners rent real apartments in Hangzhou: bilingual contracts, clear process, deposit protection at move-out, and a human agent who replies fast on WeChat.

Sound familiar?
Most expats don't struggle because Hangzhou has no apartments — they struggle because listings, contracts, and landlords are built for locals. That's what we fix every day.
Language gap
Agents and landlords speak Chinese only; you miss details on fees, rules, and what you're actually signing.
Confusing process
Viewing apps, deposits, registration, utilities — no one explains the order or what documents you need as a foreigner.
Deposit disputes
Move-out deductions feel random; getting your deposit back often turns into arguments you can't fight in Chinese.
One-sided contracts
Standard leases are Chinese-only with vague clauses — hard to know your rights before you pay.
What you get with us
Bilingual lease + plain English summary
We explain every clause before you sign — rent, deposit return rules, repairs, and early exit.
You ↔ landlord, we translate both ways
Negotiation, viewing notes, and follow-ups — no surprises after you move in.
Dedicated WeChat group
You, your agent, and support in one chat — quick answers during the lease.
Short-term & flexible leases
3–12 month stays — we source landlords open to shorter terms when possible.
Move-in & move-out on site
Handover checklist, photo proof, deposit discussion — we protect your money at checkout.
Fast response
Urgent repair or landlord issue? We push for action — that's why clients keep our WeChat group for years.
Senior agents who know all of Hangzhou
Our brokers have worked the city for years — every district, commute, and neighborhood — so we match you by lifestyle, not just price.
Exclusive expat-friendly listings
Years of landlord relationships give you homes geared for foreigners — some off-market, with landlords who actually rent to expats.

"Cici was very friendly and informative. She took initiative in helping me to set up a router, look for a gym, and suggesting to look at other units she felt I might be interested in. I was very happy with Cici as my agent and to meet her as a person. I’d recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone else seeking a unit."

Agent: Tina
"I found myself in a challenging position, moving to a new city with zero knowledge of the neighborhoods or rental market. Tina stepped in immediately, asking what sort of living situation I was hoping for and based simply on that, came back with a list of options that all worked. I went from being anxious, and unaware of how to proceed, to suddenly having too many options. I recommend Hangzhou Rent and Tina for anyone looking for a place in HZ!"
