Where District 2 is now, and where we visit rental homes
District 2 stopped being an administrative unit on 1 July 2025. Under Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 the area became three wards (a ward is the local unit that now follows the street in an address): An Khanh, Binh Trung and Cat Lai. Title deeds and leases dated before the change stay valid, so send us the address on your papers, or simply the development and unit number.
Our office is at 72 Nguyen Co Thach in Sala, inside An Khanh ward, which keeps key collection, a return visit once a mattress has dried and fixed-schedule calls at an empty home easy to arrange, 07:00 to 20:00 every day.
- An Khanh ward: scheduled regularly
- Rental apartments cluster in Masteri Thao Dien, Xi Riverview Palace, Masteri An Phu, The Metropole Thu Thiem, Empire City and the Sala blocks; low-rise homes include the Thao Dien villas and compounds, Saroma and SariTown.
- Binh Trung ward: scheduled regularly
- Estella Heights, Diamond Island, Palm City, Lakeview City and The Global City, whose SOHO townhouses have been handed over.
- Cat Lai ward: by arrangement
- Feliz en Vista and Vista Verde. We take bookings here after confirming a time slot, so please message first.
What the service covers, and what stays with you or your agent
Letting a home takes two kinds of work: letting management (finding tenants, signing leases, collecting rent), and keeping the property clean while noticing early when something is wrong. We do only the second.
- We do
- Cleaning between tenancies; aircon, mattress, sofa and curtain cleaning; scheduled visits to an empty home; photographs and a report; key handovers as agreed, through your agent if you have one.
- No letting services
- We do not advertise or show the property, sign leases, collect rent or hold deposits, or represent you before building management, the authorities or in a dispute.
- No repairs
- Electrical, plumbing and waterproofing faults and broken appliances are photographed, located and reported at once. The repair is for a contractor you appoint.
- No inventories, no guarding
- We photograph the condition before and after cleaning; inventories, handover records and deposits are for you or your representative. A visit to an empty home is a visual check with light cleaning, not a security service or a technical survey.
Between tenants: the turnover package in Sala, Thu Thiem and Thao Dien apartments
Tuoi Tre newspaper reported in 2020 that nearly 6,000 foreign nationals of 102 nationalities lived in Thao Dien, and most homes let to them come furnished. Each lease adds wear that an owner living elsewhere cannot easily check, and with average relative humidity of about 79.5% and a rainy season from May to November, a riverside apartment closed up for a few weeks soon smells damp. The package has four core items; remove any you do not need.
- Whole-home deep clean
- Kitchen, bathrooms, glass, floors, balcony. With the home empty, the floor under cupboards and the balcony door tracks can be reached; in Thu Thiem, Sala and The Global City, where building work nearby continues, fine dust settles in those tracks and on the glass.
- Aircon cleaning
- Apartments here usually have 1–1.5 HP wall units in the bedrooms and a 2 HP unit in the living room. Each unit gets a free gas-pressure check and a 90-day warranty, and from the 3rd unit in one appointment each is 10% off.
- Mattress cleaning
- Charged per mattress. A mattress has to dry before the bed is made, so leave a clear gap before the new tenant moves in.
- Sofa cleaning
- Charged per seat. A sofa standing against river-facing glass often has sun-faded patches; cleaning cannot bring that colour back, and the Up Report says so.
- Optional extras
- At list price: curtains 40,000 VND per m², fridge from 350,000 VND, washing machine from 450,000 VND. Smoke, cooking or pet odours left by a tenant are quoted after a survey; a repainted or newly handed-over home is booked as post-construction cleaning.
What it costs in District 2: three examples added up from the price list

- No list price: after a free survey we quote one fixed price by frequency and floor area.
Empty villas, compounds and riverside apartments: what a check visit covers
A closed-up home in a hot, humid climate deteriorates faster than a lived-in one: floor drains dry out and smell, wooden cupboards grow mould, an unused aircon turns musty. Thao Dien adds its terrain. Tuoi Tre (June 2025) describes Thao Dien, Quoc Huong and Nguyen Van Huong streets as low-lying with old drainage; when heavy rain meets a high tide, water can stand 0.15–0.3 m deep for one to two hours. An unoccupied villa should have someone look at the base of the walls, the garage and the yard after such rain. On each visit your Up specialist, the UpClean staff member assigned to the home, follows the agreed checklist and photographs every room:
- Airing: windows, balcony doors and cupboards stay open during the visit, then all is locked, with a photo.
- Water: taps, toilets and showers run, floor drains topped up against odours, under-sink spaces checked for leaks.
- Dust and floors: surfaces dusted, floors vacuumed and mopped, balcony drains cleared of leaves.
- Appliances: aircon and extractor fans are test-run; only items on your list are switched on or off.
- Visual check: damp marks on ceilings and walls, mould in cupboards, insect droppings, termite trails, cracked glass, doors that will not lock.
- Gardens and pools
- Our landscape care and pool cleaning services can share the visit schedule; scope and cost follow a survey.
- Signs of termites or other pests
- Reported at once with photos. If you agree, treatment is carried out by UpClean's own pest-control technicians.
Keys, building management and compound gates when you are not there
Quote, keys and sign-off can all be handled at a distance. How keys, access cards or door codes are received and returned is put in writing before the first visit, and every receipt and return is confirmed by message. Most apartment buildings in District 2 require registration with building management, ID in the lobby, the service lift and fixed working hours, so we send the specialist's name and photo ahead for you to forward.
- Who holds access details
- Only the assigned specialist, who is identity-verified and trained to the Up Standard, our working procedure. The specialist does not let anyone else in, accept deliveries or sign for documents without your written instructions.
- Compounds and gated estates
- The specialist follows the gate guard's directions on parking, routes and the use of outdoor water and power. Everything brought in is counted and taken out again.
Owners abroad and international tenants: reports, language and moving out
The Up Report is the photo report sent by WhatsApp or Zalo straight after each visit: every room, the checklist completed, notes on anything unusual and the locked door. It records only what was visible within our scope: it is not a handover record or an expert assessment, and we take no part in deciding a deposit.
- English
- Advice, quotes and reports are available in English. If you need a specialist who speaks English at the home, say so when booking; when we cannot arrange one, we tell you beforehand and help by phone or message.
- Booking and changes
- Message +84 968 726 135 on WhatsApp or Zalo. Mattresses and sofas need drying time, so book as soon as you know when the tenant leaves. Reply within 48 hours of the Up Report and any item within the agreed scope is redone free of charge.
- Payment
- By bank transfer after you have read the Up Report. A VAT invoice is issued on request by Uptech Technology Solution Company Limited (tax code 0316973414).
- Guide: move-out cleaning in Ho Chi Minh City
- For tenants handing a home back. The same deep clean can be booked at 15,000 VND per m² for apartments, minimum 900,000 VND; holes in walls, scratched floors and broken appliances are outside cleaning.
