What changes the rent

  • Location, and how close the home is to the CIQ checkpoint, JB Sentral and main roads.
  • Size and number of bedrooms.
  • Whether the unit is furnished, partly furnished or empty.
  • The project and its facilities, and the floor and view in a high-rise.

Costs on top of the rent

In Malaysia tenants commonly pay a security deposit and a smaller utility deposit, plus the first month's rent in advance. The exact amounts are agreed between landlord and tenant, so confirm them before you pay anything.
