Find your base in Asia.

Every listing confirmed by the person letting it.

Đà Nẵng's rentals live in Facebook groups, Zalo and Telegram — posted once, never updated. BaseIn is the directory where each listing carries the date its agent last confirmed it, the electricity rate in ₫/kWh, and whether your tạm trú gets registered. Free to browse. No agent can pay for a better spot.

Fresh. Confirmed by the agent in one tap; the badge reads from that date and nothing else.

The problem

Why the groups don't work, even with 40,000 members.

The market has listings. It has no state.

A Facebook post is write-once. There is no "rented" flag, no price history, and nobody whose job it is to keep it true. Three weeks after the flat in An Thượng is let, the post is still there, still collecting "Còn không ạ?" underneath it.

The city does not lack apartments. It lacks a single place that knows which ones are actually available this week.

5 → 1PLACES LEFT

Your evening

Message five agents about five places. Wait. Four are gone; the fifth is 2M more than the post said. Repeat tomorrow, from the same groups, with the same photos.

100×A DAY

The agent's day

"Is it still available?" — asked a hundred times about a place they let in August. Their only tool is a photo album that cannot be edited and a Zalo inbox that never empties.

6 : 5POSTS : PRICES

The post

Same apartment, six agents, five prices. No way to tell which is current, which is a copy, and which is a bait price that becomes something else in the chat.

How it works

Four steps. One of them is the agent's.

A link that can be updated, instead of photos that can't.

Everything below follows from one rule: the listing belongs to the person letting it, and only they can say it is available.

  1. Agent

    Post once, with the facts.

    Price, meter type, tạm trú, contract language, deposit, floor. The agent gets one address for the place, and shares that instead of a screenshot.

  2. Agent

    Confirm in one tap.

    Every confirmation stamps a date on the listing. Untouched, the badge ages from green to amber; after three weeks it drops out of default results.

  3. You

    Filter by what actually costs you.

    EVN meter only. Tạm trú registered. Contract in English. Under 15M. Measured wifi over 100 Mbps. Not flooded in 2022. Confirmed this week.

  4. You

    Contact — first one free.

    US$15 buys five contacts. If a place turns out to be gone, you get the contact back. Browsing costs nothing, ever.

The costs nobody mentions

Fields no other listing in the city publishes.

Rent is the number they tell you. Electricity is the one they don't.

Many landlords in Đà Nẵng run their own sub-meter and set their own rate. EVN's residential tariff tops out around 3.000₫/kWh; a landlord meter at 4.500₫ is common and rarely mentioned before the first bill. Run three air-conditioners through a July and the gap is more than a million dong a month.

2,1M
Landlord meter 4.500₫ / kWh3.150.000₫
3,15M
+1.050.000₫/ MONTH

Over a one-year contract that is 12,6 million dong — roughly one extra month of rent on the same apartment, paid quietly, every month. BaseIn puts the meter type and the rate on the listing, so you filter on it before you visit.

EVN tiers rise with usage; the top residential tier is used here as the fair comparison. Landlord rates of 3.500–5.000₫ are reported across An Thượng, Mỹ An and Sơn Trà.

Electricitytiền điện

The largest cost after rent, and the one most often set by the landlord rather than the state.

RecordedMeter type (EVN or landlord), rate in ₫/kWh, billing cycle.

Temporary residencetạm trú

Required for visa renewals and extensions. Some landlords quietly decline to register foreigners; you find out at immigration.

RecordedRegistered by landlord: yes / no / for a fee — and how quickly.

Contracthợp đồng

A contract you can read is a contract you can enforce. Many are Vietnamese-only, or English copies the landlord never signs.

RecordedLanguages, term, whether the signed version is bilingual.

Deposit and noticeđặt cọc · báo trước

Two months' deposit and a vague return policy is where most expat money is lost in this city.

RecordedMonths held, notice period, return window, deductions named.

Internetđo thực tế

"Wifi mạnh" is not a number. Shared building lines drop to 8 Mbps at 9 pm when everyone is on a call.

RecordedMeasured down / up speed, provider, date of the test.

Flood risklũ lụt, tháng 10–11

The autumn rains put parts of Hải Châu and the streets behind Mỹ Khê under water. Ground-floor tenants learn this in October.

For agents

Free to list. Free forever. No paid placement, for anyone.

Keep posting to Facebook. Just post a link you can update.

Nothing about your day changes except the part where you answer "Còn không?" a hundred times. Your listing lives at one address. When it's let, tap once — every copy of your link says so. When it comes back, tap again. And you post one line instead of twelve photos, so you are not the person who filled up everyone’s phone this morning.

  • Free, forever — for you and for everyone else

    No listing fee, no boost, no premium tier. Nobody can buy a position above you, and you cannot buy one either. Listings are ordered by how recently they were confirmed.

  • One tap replaces a hundred replies

    Confirm from your phone in the time it takes to read the question. The badge on the listing updates for every renter who has ever opened your link.

  • Change the price once, everywhere

    Edit the listing, and every share — in every group, every Zalo thread, every Telegram channel — shows the new number. No more five prices for one flat.

  • Stop filling up everyone’s phone

    WhatsApp and Zalo download images automatically. Twelve photos into a 200-member group is forty megabytes taken from people who never asked for it — and it is why admins ban photo spam. A link is one line. The photos stay here, where you can change them.

  • Your listing, your name on it

    When six agents post the same apartment, BaseIn merges them into one listing. The agent who keeps it confirmed is the one renters contact.

You pay to contact, not to look.

Free to browse. Always.

Renters pay only when they want to talk to someone. Agents never pay. That is the whole model, and it is why no listing can buy its way above another.

Where next

The domain is the region. The name never has to change.

Base in .asia today. Then the rest.

The name comes from the address: basein.asia — base in Asia. Đà Nẵng first, because it is where the problem is loudest. The same directory, the same confirmation rule, will follow the nomad and expat corridors from here: Hội An, Nha Trang, Chiang Mai, Bali.

Stop losing evenings to Facebook groups.

Furnished, fast wifi, a desk, month-to-month, move in next week — or a bilingual contract, tạm trú handled, and a school run that doesn't cross the Hàn river at 7 am. Either way, the listings you open are the ones still available.
