While Malaysian renters and investors saw a welcome period of stability in the first quarter of 2025 as residential condominium rents held steady across most budget tiers, Kuala Lumpur continued to command the highest average rents in the country.
According to Juwai IQI co-founder and group chief executive officer Kashif Ansari, the average monthly rents in Malaysia showed little fluctuation year-on-year, signalling a balanced market. This finding is based on an analysis of over 4,500 IQI rental transactions across the country per quarter.
