Tourists can rent property (short/long term) freely — no ownership restrictions. Long-term (3-12 months) rental agreements sign standard leases. Deposit typically 1-2 months' rent. Utilities usually separate.

For high-value rentals: use written lease (English/Sinhala), verified landlord. Common: villa rental via agent (Elegant Resorts, House Trip). Popular nomad areas: Ella (2000-8000 USD/month for boutique), Hiriketiya, Mirissa, Ahangama. Some Colombo apartments 500-1500 USD/month for expat quality.
