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 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."

Agent Cici Agent: Cici

"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. 😃"

Agent Sherry Agent: Sherry

"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."

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
