A realistic rent range across Can Tho neighborhoods is about 80,000 to 160,000 VND per square meter per month, or about $3.10 to $6.15 and €2.70 to €5.35.

Compared with Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Da Nang, rent per square meter in Can Tho is much lower, which is why Can Tho can still offer affordable entry prices for small landlords.

As of 2026, average residential asking rents in Can Tho are about 5% lower year-over-year for the broad market, while good small apartments in Ninh Kieu look about 3% to 6% higher.

This mixed trend happens because older houses and oversized listings face softer demand, while compact furnished units near Can Tho University, Ninh Kieu Quay and central services still attract tenants.

Compared with the previous year, Can Tho in 2026 looks less overheated and more selective, which means landlords need the right unit, price and neighborhood to raise rent.

The main support for Can Tho rent growth is steady local demand from students, families, civil servants, healthcare workers, education workers and logistics-linked tenants.

The strongest rent growth in Can Tho is likely in Ninh Kieu, Hung Loi, Xuan Khanh, Cai Khe, An Khanh, Hung Phu and Phu Thu.

The main risks are too many similar listings, weak older houses, flood-prone streets and landlords pricing Can Tho homes as if Can Tho were Ho Chi Minh City.
