What paperwork is needed to rent an apartment as a foreigner?

As a foreign national, you’ll typically need a valid passport, a residence visa or work permit, and proof of income or a guarantor to rent an apartment in Multan. Landlords often ask for a copy of your visa and a bank statement or salary slip to confirm you can meet the monthly rent of about $143. A security deposit—usually one month’s rent—is also standard. It’s advisable to have the lease translated into English if it’s written in Urdu, and to register the rental agreement with the local land‑records office, which can be done through the city’s municipal services portal. Consulting the consulate’s website for any additional requirements is also recommended.
