Rent a flat or a house in Nepal

It's relatively easy to find a flat in Nepal (Kathmandu area) and there is tons of new construction. The issues to consider are: (1) Is the landlord responsive? (2) What is the water situation? Is it delivered? Is there a well? Is it filtered? (3) Is the water heated? How? Solar? Is there a heating element as well in case there is no sun for prolonged periods? (4) What kind of energy back up is there for the 'load shedding' periods? (5) Can the energy back up run a refrigerator? Lighting? TV? etc. (6) Confirm that bath and kitchen drains work. (7) What is trash pick up policy? Is it extra? (8) Does apt come with internet?
The documents to rent a flat are rather simple but landlord specific. Ask him/her. Also, are utilities sold separately? Is there a didi nearby that can do your laundry? Where does laundry get done otherwise? Access to water supply? laundry machines?
Good luck!

I am comining from Oman, i want to settle down in Nepal,i am looking for flat or House at reasonable price.

Hi mohammed.130 & welcome to Expat.com!

Could you please post an advert in the appropriate section > Housing in Nepal?

Thanks,

RomaHealth had some really good tips. Nepal is very different from the west. You don't need formal documents at all. Everything is done on a handshake, but that just creates problems on back end. That's when the horns come out.

If you want to live in the big expat community of Senapa or Patan you will pay a lot more. Bhaktapur has better weather, no cars in the city so less pollution and very few expats. It's a real Nepal experience. Kapan is also like that but more Buddhist, a genuine community.

I know of one furnished apartment in Bhaktapur for only 15,000 NRs per month. The same apartment in Patan would cost at least $100 more.

Thank you for your contribution MadagascarNow!

Hello

We are to move to Kathmandu, Nepal for a 2-3 years stay and we decided to rent an Apartment instead of the more spacious bungalow style detached house, based on security & safety reasons being the 1st & foremost Priority No. 1.

In the Apartments category, we looked at several ones, Indreni Apts that's very popular with Expats, Bhatbhateni Apts, Grace Apts (mostly in the Bhatbhateni area). We also wanted a fully furnished apt with good backup power facilities b'coz Kathmandu has 12 hrs load-shedding on a 24/7 basis. Hence, power backup is a strong criteria. Also, the quality of the building, the ppl around living there. Mostly, we wanted to be in the midst of the expat community.

After a gruesome 2 weeks search, mostly all the apts asking for rent upwards of US$ 1200 and above, we zeroed-in on Bhatbhateni Apts that's providing us the best of the facilities in a consolidated fashion.

However, do note that rentals in Kathmandu is expensive and you must also create a solid, comprehensive Lease document for your own protection.

We are on the process to finalize ours in the next 2-3 days.
