What is Rumah-i?

Rumah-i is a property rental and tenancy management platform that helps landlords find suitable tenants, manage rental payments, maintain tenancy records, handle maintenance requests, and monitor their rental properties in one place.

What services does Rumah-i provide?

Our services include tenant sourcing and screening, property viewing arrangements, tenancy agreement preparation and renewal, rental collection and reminders, move-in and move-out coordination, property inspections, maintenance coordination, and tenancy-related support.

Can Rumah-i help me find a tenant?

Yes. We help market your property, arrange viewings, assess prospective tenants, and coordinate the rental process. Tenant selection remains subject to your approval.

How does Rumah-i screen prospective tenants?

We review available tenant information such as identity, employment, income, affordability, and rental payment history. Additional verification may be requested where applicable and with the necessary consent.

How does the automated rental collection system work?

Once your tenancy and rental schedule are registered, Rumah-i helps track rent due dates, send payment reminders, record payments, and highlight overdue rental amounts through your dashboard.

What happens if my tenant pays rent late?

The system can issue payment reminders and flag overdue rent for follow-up. Where Rumah-i is appointed to manage the tenancy, our team can assist with communication and appropriate recovery steps. Rental payment is not guaranteed.

Can I monitor multiple properties under one account?

Yes. The platform is designed to help landlords organise multiple properties and tenancies, including rental records, agreement expiry dates, and payment status.

Will Rumah-i remind me when my tenancy agreement is expiring?

Yes. Registered tenancy expiry dates can be monitored, and renewal reminders help you plan ahead to avoid an unintended lapse in your agreement.

Can Rumah-i help renew my tenancy agreement?

Yes. We provide a tenancy agreement renewal service, including renewal documentation, electronic signing arrangements, and stamp duty coordination where applicable. Our advertised renewal service starts from RM99, excluding stamp duty.

How are property maintenance and repairs handled?

Maintenance issues can be reported and tracked through the platform. For managed properties, our team can coordinate with contractors and seek the landlord’s approval before proceeding with chargeable work, except as otherwise authorised.

Can I manage my property while living overseas?

Yes. Rumah-i is designed to support overseas landlords with remote tenancy monitoring, rental collection records, renewal coordination, and property management assistance.

How much does Rumah-i charge?

Fees depend on the services selected, such as tenant finding, tenancy management, rental collection, or agreement renewal. We will provide the applicable charges before you confirm the service.

Does Rumah-i guarantee rental income or protect against tenant default?

No. Rumah-i helps reduce administrative work and improve visibility of rental payments, but cannot guarantee timely payment or eliminate the risk of rental arrears, damage, or disputes.

What should I do before moving out?

Check your tenancy agreement for the required notice period, notify your landlord or management team, settle outstanding payments, and arrange a move-out inspection and key handover.

When will my security deposit be refunded?

The refund timeline and any permissible deductions depend on your tenancy agreement and the outcome of the move-out process. Rumah-i can help document the handover and coordinate the refund process where appointed.
