Still think it’s impossible to rent a place in Klang Valley for less than RM2,000 a month?
As a 20-something living in Klang Valley, it’s nearly impossible to find a home that fulfils all your needs — location, size, safety and price. Which is why most of us resorted to renting a place to live. Sure, the house doesn’t belong to us and we have to adhere to the rules and regulations that our landlords have set for us, but it’s definitely better than taking up mortgages we can’t afford and end up burying ourselves in debt.
However, rentals in Klang Valley area can be quite pricey as well, especially in places like KL City Centre and Mont Kiara where rent prices can go as high as RM 10,000 — well, to be fair, most of them are fully-furnished landed properties and they’re located in nice neighbourhoods.
So we took to iProperty to see what kind of houses we can get with a budget of RM2,000 in Klang Valley. It turns out that there are actually a lot of nice-looking apartments that fit the budget, and here are some of our favourites.
