is the most important to you should be given top priority. The Golden Triangle area

Before you sign on the dotted line, you should understand the leasing conditions
first. As a foreigner you should familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions.
For example, the leases are normally not more than two years due to the fact that
foreigners are not allowed to stay in the country longer than this period. And before
you hand the keys back, you should give a two months notice to the landlord, should
you decide to leave before the two year term.
Finally, the budget must be determined as Kuala Lumpur has a high number of tourists

not as pricey as Tokyo and there are some great value for money apartments available
for rent. Every year expatriates take advantage of the working opportunities in
