KL condo rental guide 2026: what a fair price looks like now

Rents within 500 metres of an LRT station are down about 6% from the 2024 peak, while farther-out units have held steady. For a quick sanity check: a maintained 850 sqft 2-bedroom near KLCC should quote around RM1,500–RM1,700; the same unit in Cheras or Puchong sits nearer RM1,200. Before signing, ask for the last maintenance receipt and the MCST arrears — a unit with unpaid maintenance fees often means the landlord is cash-strapped elsewhere too.
