Finding a house for rent in Lahore is no longer as difficult as it once was. In the past, tenants often struggled to find a home that had everything nearby, such as parks, schools, mosques, clinics and markets. However, the city has expanded rapidly, and many new housing societies have been developed.
This growth has given renters more choice, especially for double storey homes in different price ranges.
Rental prices in Lahore now vary widely depending on location, size and condition of the property. Monthly rents can start from around Rs50,000 and go up to nearly Rs2.7 million for luxury homes in prime areas.
Some of the most expensive locations include MM Alam Road, Lahore Cantt, Gulberg, Model Town and DHA Phases 5 and 6. These neighbourhoods remain popular due to their central location, facilities and high standard of living.
Rent across different house sizes
For those seeking large homes, several options are available in Lahore. A 4 kanal house on MM Alam Road can cost between Rs2.5 million and Rs2.7 million per month. In DHA Phase 6, a designer 2 kanal house may range from about Rs1.8 million to Rs2.2 million.
Gulberg offers similar high end rentals, where a 4 kanal house can cost between Rs2 million and Rs2.4 million. Some relatively lower priced 2 kanal houses in Gulberg are also available near Rs1.1 million, while others below Rs2 million may be found around Rs1.7 million.
Rental costs drop for smaller homes. A 6 marla house in Paragon City may rent for about Rs85,000 per month. In DHA, a 5 marla house usually starts from around Rs150,000, while an 8 marla house in Bahria Town may cost near Rs200,000.
Johar Town offers comparatively reasonable options. A 5 marla house there may range from Rs110,000 to Rs130,000. In Wapda Town, a 10 marla house may start from around Rs160,000 to Rs180,000, while a 1 kanal house can range between Rs250,000 and Rs400,000 depending on condition.
In DHA Phase 8, a 4 kanal house may cost between Rs1.3 million and Rs1.5 million. In DHA Phase 9 Town, some 5 marla houses are available from around Rs110,000. A 1 kanal house in DHA Phase 6 can range from Rs250,000 to Rs400,000, with designer homes costing more.
Bahria Town also offers mid range options, where a 10 marla house may cost about Rs140,000 to Rs150,000 per month. More affordable housing can be found in areas like Khayaban e Amin, where a 5 marla double storey house may rent for around Rs65,000.
In Defence Raya, especially near the golf course, a 2 kanal house may range from roughly Rs650,000 to Rs865,000 per month.
Overall, rental costs depend largely on budget, location and house size. These latest figures give a clear picture of how much it may cost to secure a house for rent in Lahore in 2026.
