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.

Bilingual contracts Short-term OK WeChat support group Since 2006

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.

Agent Cici Agent: Cici

"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 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!"

"I absolutely recommend this company, especially our agent, Cici! She went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home while we were away. She showed us several great options that matched our interests and stayed within our budget, which made the process so much easier. Not only that, but she also shared helpful tips about the area, including great places to visit and eat around our neighborhood. Her knowledge and support truly made us feel comfortable and confident in our decision. If you’re looking for your next dream home, I highly recommend working with Cici and this company!"

"Cici is an excellent real estate agent — friendly, communicative, and always professional. She speaks very good English and truly understands her clients’ needs. In our case, she found us the perfect apartment in the exact area we wanted, with all the features we were looking for. Beyond the apartment search, she provided incredibly broad support with practical matters such as setting up internet, helping with residence registration, and connecting us with a cleaning service. We highly recommend Cici to everyone, especially foreigners looking for a smooth and stress-free experience. 5 stars!"

Everything you need to know about renting in Hangzhou

You'll need your passport, valid visa or residence permit, and sometimes a work certificate. Don't worry - we'll guide you through the entire process step by step.

Typically 1-2 weeks from start to finish. We can arrange viewings within 1-3 days, and contract signing usually happens shortly after you've found your ideal property.

Often yes, when the landlord agrees. We regularly place 3–6 month stays and will tell you upfront which listings allow shorter leases.

We attend move-out with you, use a handover checklist and photos, and explain deductions to the landlord in Chinese so you are not arguing alone.

Yes. We provide a bilingual lease with a plain-language summary before you sign, then add you to a WeChat group with your agent for questions during the tenancy.
