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.

Agent: Cherry
"I had a great experience with Cherry. She showed me the apartment very thoroughly and was very helpful throughout the whole process. She also accompanied me to complete the police registration, which can be quite difficult for foreigners. Very professional, responsive, and helpful. Highly recommended."

"In a word, CiCi is amazing. I found her through a friend's referral. She was immediately responsive and helpful. She shared multiple properties that met my company's requirements as well as my personal requirements. This is my second year in China, and I moved from Shanghai to Hangzhou. CiCi is incredibly thoughtful and easy to work with. She even sacrificed her time during the weekend to help me get settled into my new apartment. I give CiCi 5 stars, and strongly recommend her. 😃"

"We contacted Tina online at the beginning. From our‑very first meeting, I could tell how professional she was, which earned my full trust. She put in tremendous effort and thorough research to find me a suitable apartment. Throughout the whole process, Tina was patient, reliable and highly‑professional. Her after‑sales service is also excellent. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a rental property."

"Excellent service! Tina was professional, responsive and made the entire rental process smooth. Tina found the perfect place for us as we had lots of restrictions. Helped us to communicate with the landlord very efficiently. We've been with Hangzhou Plus for 10 years and they have always helped us with all our requirements. Highly recommend!"

"Working with Sherry has been absolutely fantastic. I moved to China feeling anxious about where I would be living and she helped me out in person and over the phone every step of the way. I truly would have been so lost without her. Its always nice to know that I am not alone with my confusion because she always lends a helping hand. Thank you so much for your help throughout my process here. I truly would not have been able to do this without you."

"This is my second time renting a property through agent Tina. I really appreciate her great professionalism and endless patience. She listened carefully to my requirements, explained all rental‑related details clearly, and gave thoughtful support whenever I had concerns. It has been a pleasant and stress‑free renting experience. I would definitely reach out to her again and strongly recommend her to other tenants."
