SmartShanghai Housing has been the most established English-language rental platform in Shanghai for over 20 years. We are not an agency — we don’t rent or manage properties ourselves. Instead, we provide a trusted platform where both private users and verified property agencies can post listings.
Because we’ve been around this long, we take verification seriously: every listing goes through basic checks before it’s published. Still, we cannot take responsibility for disputes with landlords, agencies, other users, or the accuracy of every detail in the listings.
Curious about safety concerns or whether prices on our site are inflated?
SmartShanghai.com is the longest-running English online magazine in Shanghai. We are an independent media publication created by a team of long-term, opinionated, and knowledgeable writers. We provide English-speaking residents and visitors with a curated guide to explore and celebrate the best of Shanghai.
