Sri Lanka is an island nation located in South Asia, in the Indian Ocean.

It lies just southeast of the Indian subcontinent, separated from India by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar.

Sri Lanka is positioned south of the state of Tamil Nadu in India and north of the equator, giving it a tropical climate year-round.

Its strategic location along major Indian Ocean shipping routes has historically made it an important center for trade between East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

The country's coastline surrounds a diverse interior of plains, hills, and central highlands.

How To Find Property For Rent Buy Owner in Sri Lanka


To find property for rent by owner in Sri Lanka (often abbreviated as FRBO), a combination of online platforms, local resources, and direct word-of-mouth can be used.

Web sites that are set-up for FRBO, allow filtering for listed by owner rentals, and when searching be sure about what you want such as location, budget, and the type of housing.

Never wire money or send deposits before seeing the property, and ask for a lease and verify ownership if possible by using local property tax records.

Buying a property that is then set up as a "for rent by owner" (FRBO), is usually one that is intended to be rented out without the assistance of a property manager.

When a suitable property has been found evaluate the property as an investment, and ask for current rental rates and payment history, maintenance records, property expenses such as taxes, insurance and utilities costs.

You can work directly with the owner or hire a real estate attorney or buyer's agent to help draft an offer, but before making an offer perform due diligence such as hiring a licensed home inspector and ensure there are no liens.

Use a title company or closing attorney to handle escrow, title transfer, and record the deed, after learning how to find Properties for RENT listed by owners in Sri Lanka, by using online platforms and web site listings portals, and buying the property.
