One thing that is currently not available in Cambodia yet, are storage facilities for personal effects.

Have you been to Cambodia before? If not I'd suggest you spend an extended period of time here before shipping all of your personal effects over, and make a firm decision whether you really want to live here, and which city or town you want to live in.

Once you have decided where you want to settle, I would suggest you do the following;

- Arrive at least 2 weeks prior to your personal effects
- Stay in a centrally located guest house
- Get to know the area and decide which part of town you would lie to live in
- Ride around looking for 'To Rent' signs (they will be in Khmer, so learn the script for to rent). Take pictures of the signs, make a note of the address.
- Have a local call the numbers, find out details about the property, cost of rent, power, water, etc...
- Arrange to view the properties you are interested in, take your local friend with you.
- Go over the property meticulously, check everything works, come back in the evening to see how noisy the neighbourhood is, etc...
- Always negotiate, prices are never fixed unless specifically stated. As a foreigner the price will always be inflated, that's why you get a local to call and find out their starting price before going to view the property.
- Make sure to get a translation of the lease agreement before signing, if there is anything you are not happy with then don't sign.


But....if that is too much effort, then you can go through an agency, but be warned, rental prices through agencies are  grossly over-inflated.

Good luck with your move if thats what you decide to do
