Renting a House in Malaysia

about renting a house in Malaysia, Usually many students who come to study in Malaysia, instead of dormitory, they prefer to rent an apartment near the university. For example, almost all the students who come to this country with their family to study in Malaysia rent an apartment. Unfortunately, because of unfamiliarity with the rules and conditions of tenancy in Malaysia as well as unfamiliarity with the areas of Malaysia, many students have troubles in this regard. In this section we describe the conditions and rules of tenancy in Malaysia.

Houses for rent in Malaysia are divided into 3 categories:

1. Fully Furnished Unit: These types of houses are fully furnished and includes all the equipment needed for life such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, fans, sleeping services including bed and mattresses and wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, dining tables, shelves for shoes, study table, electric water heater , cooking gas, vacuum cleaners and furniture.
2. Semi Furnished Unit: These types of buildings are partially furnished and include items such as fan, sleeping service including bed and mattresses, wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, dining tables, shelves for shoes, electric water heaters, gas cooking and sofa. These type apartments are usually without washing machines and refrigerators.
3. Empty Unit: These types of buildings have none of the devices mentioned in two categories above, and after renting all equipment must be provided by the tenant.

Based on our many years of experience in order to save costs we offer that if you want to live in Malaysia between 10 days to 2 years, rent furnished apartments and if the duration of your stay is more than two years it is better that you rent an empty apartment and buy the necessary tools for life.

Steps to rent an apartment in Malaysia:

1. Building Management: Management of any building is on the ground floor of the same building and you can refer to management of any building from 9 am to 5 pm.
