Land & Real estate

Office space  in Ulaanbaatar  remains considerably cheaper  than  in the  neighboring  countries although  there  are  an  increasing  number  of new buildings that offer A-Class office space.

Renting an apartment costs anywhere from USD 500 a month for a reasonable two-room apartment in the suburbs to as much as one is willing to pay for a five to six-room fat fully furnished (with local or foreign furniture) in the city’s center. It is important to confirm that the person renting the property has its legal title and, therefore, the right to lease the apartment.  In  addition, proper  identification  and  a  simple  lease  agreement  in Mongolian  and English  should be obtained. Leases,  at  a very
minimum, should state the terms of renting the property and should form the basis for a working relationship and understanding with a landlord. In some arrangements, the landlord agrees to cover utilities charges (except international phone charges) and to carry out basic repairs.

Foreigners are entitled to own buildings in Mongolia but not land. Landlords  are  unwilling  to consider  rental  periods  of  less  than  three months, especially  for  residential accommodation. There are a number of real estate agencies that can offer assistance in this and other areas for
reasonable fee.
