Houses for long-term rent in Pakistan: prices and how to find one

Updated 4 November 2026

A house for long-term rent in Pakistan costs about Rs 11,000 to Rs 190,000 a month in Islamabad, and a 10-marla house can cost from Rs 22,000 to Rs 450,000. The price depends on size, district and whether the house is furnished. To get current prices, describe the house you need in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules to check before you sign

Rental guides for Pakistan stress paperwork. Every rent payment should be backed by receipts, and any future rent increase should be notified in writing. Ask the landlord for both before you move in, and keep copies of the signed lease. If you prefer to deal with the owner directly rather than an agent, say so in your request.

Furnished or unfurnished

Furnishing a two-bedroom home to a mid-range standard costs about Rs 800,000 to Rs 1,200,000 according to a 2026 market analysis, and furnished homes can command a 25–35% rental premium. Say clearly whether you need furniture, because it changes the monthly price a lot.

Season and move-in timing

Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad have a desert climate. Summers from May to September are very hot, while winters from November to March are mild, so viewings are most comfortable in the cooler months. During a summer viewing, check cooling, water supply and fans, because a house that feels fine in November can feel very different in July.

How rent is quoted and what to put in the request

Rent is quoted per month, and size is given in marla, the local unit, so write the house size in marla and the number of bedrooms. Name the district and city, because the same request in Karachi and in Faisalabad gets different offers. State your budget per month, the lease length, the move-in date, who will live there and whether utilities are included.

Write it once in plain words, and a photo can be added. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. For comparison you can look at houses and houses for sale, or read how BlaBlaPrice works.
