Luxury house for rent in KL below RM 2,000

Looking for rental house or studio apartment in Kuala Lumpur?

It is an uphill task to find a “perfect” studio apartment for rent in Kuala Lumpur. It’s so expensive here and tracking down a place can be an exasperating experience—you need to be persistent so you don’t get locked into a lease that you can't really afford. Even if you’re an experienced tenant, there are strategies you should brush up on to track down the best deal. And that’s especially important now as renters come back to Kuala Lumpur city.

Be prepared for a more competitive market in year 2022, says Shannon, an agent specialised in property for rent kl. Some companies are requiring staffs to come into the office at least part time, so renters who left the city to work remotely are returning now, where you can find good deals on houses for ret in kl. With the increased demand for apartments for rent, some landlords are increasing rents and offering fewer freebies than they did before, she says.

College and graduate students are also returning to the city in the coming months—increasing demand for rental apartments kl, or specifically studio apartments for rent in Kuala Lumpur.

But there are still deals available if you’re a qualified tenant and are ready to rent right away, so make sure you also have all of your documents ready to make an offer, Shannon says. “Lock in a long-term lease now, at a favourable rent, while you still can,” she says. 

1. Think like a leasing agent 

If you're dealing directly with an on-site rent agent, know that even if there are 10-20 vacancies, you might only be told about two or three. (Owners typically hold apartments back from the market to put themselves in a better position to negotiate.) So make sure you know about what you want—there may be another unit available that fits your needs even better.

Some people might also find hotel for rent monthly, especially now where hotel industry is disrupted by the pandemic, you can easily find hotel for rent a month in kl such as Lot 163 for rent, or 188 Suites for rent. These two apartments were 5-star hotels managed by Fraser hospitality previously.

2. If you're working with an agent, find a good one

kl property for rent hunters are encouraged to view the unit before renting. Otherwise you my risk falling for bait-and-switch plots, where potential tenants are attracted with photos but find the unit has been swapped out to a less appealing one by the time they get the keys. On-site Tour will resume after the lockdown, with extra safety precautions, but if you’re using virtual tours to check out apartments, it’s even more important to work with a reputable agent, cross-check information and ask lots of questions. 

If you're using an agent, be sure to get an agreement in writing that the agent will disclose any fees paid by the landlord and offset your fee by that amount. Some agents double-charge agency fees without disclosing; they may also steer you toward fee-paid condo for rent in kl, skipping over a potentially better choice for you. 

Additionally, checking out a listing in an unfamiliar area or with a broker you’ve never met puts you in a vulnerable position, so check out these tips for staying safe while apartment hunting in Kuala Lumpur city centre

3. Know the difference between advertised rent and what you’ll actually pay

If you’re being offered a free month or two rental, that’s great, but know these discounts may be used to advertise apartments at a lower rent, or the effective rent that you would pay if the amount you saved from your free month(s) was spread throughout the term of your lease. 

But that’s not how it usually works. Instead, you typically get your free month(s) in the beginning or at the end of your lease.
