Finding a rental in Kathmandu is easier when you compare neighborhoods, understand deposit expectations, and inspect utilities before signing.
Start with location
Shortlist areas based on commute, water access, parking, and nearby markets. Popular renter-friendly areas include Baneshwor, Lazimpat, Baluwatar, Patan, and Boudha.
Before you pay
- Ask whether water, internet, and garbage fees are included.
- Confirm the deposit amount and refund terms.
- Inspect damp walls, plumbing, sunlight, and power backup.
