Since I moved to my present HCM apartment a year ago, the police knocked on the door of my apartment twice. They asked to see passport but also searched a little bit through my possessions. This annoyed me, because I've had other apartments in VN and this never happened before.
It might be because the apartment I'm renting is in a Social Housing development. It's supposed to be for low income people but it's very nice and many people here have expensive cars. I'm renting the apartment from its owner. There are a few other foreigners living here.
But now I'm moving and I don't want this to happen again. Has this happened to anyone else here? Is it less likely to happen if one rents a house instead of an apartment?
