Hello there,

I am just wondering if anyone out there could possibly point me in the direction of a website pertaining to tenancy law ( the equivalent to maybe an ombudsman).聽 Am having some issues with a difficult landlady and would like to have some knowledge under my belt before meeting with her tomorrow.聽聽聽 Much appreciated.聽馃檪

Good luck. Landlords here do what they like. Is it a maintenace issue or money issue?. Most VN landlords are quite difficult as the laws here are never enforced.

Sorry Lorna

Col is correct.聽聽The (Western) ideal of 'Rule of Law' doesn't exist in Vietnam

Yes, there are (some) rules & regulations which only apply to the ratio...

..of how much money you can afford to lose...

The policeman in your pocket is the best bet聽聽

Good luck with that...聽聽聽

Find a lawyer; better yet, move. They can't hold you to the lease.

Looks like we will never know what the issue was with her landlord.

Anyone in Vietnam looking for an ombudsman really doesn't understand the situation.

Maybe hiring a half-dozen Vietnamese "cousins" to come along to the meeting would help? As already noted, especially helpful if one is a cop...

Seriously though, if OP is reading this, consider an interpreter. Not legal help, I know, but is there a possibility this is a communications breakdown?
