Flats for Rent in Dhaka
Dhaka holds most of the flat market in Bangladesh. The capital and its surrounding districts house something over twenty million people, and almost all of that lives in apartments rather than houses — land inside the city has been too valuable for single-family plots for a generation.
The market splits roughly in two. The established addresses — Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara and Dhanmondi — were laid out decades ago and are largely built out, so what changes hands there is existing stock, often in older buildings being redeveloped. The newer planned areas east and north, including Bashundhara, Aftabnagar and Uttara, are where most new construction is, and where a given budget buys materially more floor space.
Whatever the address, the checks are the same: that the building has RAJUK approval for the storeys it actually has, that the land beneath it has a clean chain of title, and that the seller's own mutation was completed. Approval for six floors and eight floors standing is common enough that it is worth asking about specifically.

Common questions
What do landlords in Dhaka usually ask for?
Typically two to three months of rent as an advance, a copy of your national ID, and in many buildings a reference. Service charge is often quoted separately from rent and covers lift, generator, security and cleaning — ask which of those are included before comparing two listings.
Is rent negotiable in Dhaka?
Often, particularly outside peak season and on a flat that has been vacant a while. The advance is sometimes more negotiable than the monthly figure.
Which areas are cheapest to rent in?
Broadly, rent falls as you move east and north from the diplomatic zone. The listings on this page show the current asking rents in each area.
