The verdict at Cendana is the whole-unit default pricing below its own corridor — one compact 616-650 sqft 3-bed plate for the whole building, an in-building example at RM1,050 (family-only, snippet) inside a PG band of RM800-1,500, while corridor 3-beds run RM1,500-2,500. Worked, asking-basis, snippet-grade, gross, before 2.19%: RM800-1,500 x 12 = RM9,600-18,000 on RM210,000-240,000 asks = 4.0-8.6%; the mid pair (RM1,050 on ~RM220,000) is 5.7%. The room split flips inside the band — at corridor room rates RM300-750 a split grosses RM900-2,250 against RM800-1,500 whole — so this page carries both sides and decides nothing without the probe. Asks are snippets; no Cendana-specific transacted page exists. Short-stay: zero building-named. Maintenance: not published.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card and put in your own numbers. The rent field loads RM1,050 — the in-building example card (snippet-grade, family-only condition on the card); no live portal card was read this sweep. The purchase field stays yours: the asks are snippets and the transacted context is corridor-class, never a Cendana denominator. The rooms card carries the corridor-measured RM300-750 band with the split arithmetic shown on both sides — it flips inside the band, and the page does not pretend otherwise. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
First-party first: zero dedicated cards, first-mover ground. Our area page reads "Zero Deposit Houses for Rent in Cendana Apartment Cheras · 25 nearby" — zero cards named Cendana. The corridor our board already serves: Residensi Tasikmas at RM1,500 with 180 requests (keys-on-hand, 2023), D'Nuri Residences at RM2,000 with 88 (keys-on-hand), Kenwingston Avenue at RM2,500 with 91, Queensville at RM1,800 with 64, Q Suite at RM2,000 with 44 — an 850-957 sqft cluster on bigger plates; Cendana's compact 616-650 sqft units price below it, which is what leasehold mass-market stock on smaller plates does.
The building's own rent: one snippet example, family-only. The condo.com.my search snippet: "Ready move-in, rumah sewa Cendana Apartment, Bandar Sri Permaisuri - RM1,050/month, family only (no bachelors/foreigners)" — snippet grade, and the family-only condition sits on the card itself, carried verbatim. PropertyGuru's band snippet reads "Rentals: RM800 - RM1,500/month". That is the book: RM800-1,500 with the RM1,050 example as the load. No live portal card was read this sweep — the honest gap, re-sweep named.
Rooms: the split flips inside the band — both sides carried. Corridor room rates measured on our own board: Pangsaria at RM300 (medium, 27 requests), Nidoz at RM750 (small, 32) and RM1,000 (medium, 69), M Vertica master at RM850 (107 requests). On the compact plate, a split at RM300-750 grosses RM900-2,250 against the RM800-1,500 whole book: at the upper room band the split wins, at the measured RM300-500 lower band the whole-unit holds. The artifact's own instruction is to carry both sides and print no verdict — an in-building room probe and the MC's written position decide it. The registry's bands (RM600-700 / RM800-900 / RM1000-1200) remain labelled defaults. See the room rental and co-living guide.
The sale side — snippet asks, corridor-only transacted context. iProperty: "sale prices start from ~RM210,000". iRumah: "2-3 bedroom units, ~616-650 sqft, RM230,000-240,000". The Mudah example card: "Cendana Apartment, 620 sq.ft, 3 bed/2 bath, leasehold, asking RM220k nego (~RM355 psf)". No Cendana-specific Brickz page surfaced — the bounded search returned corridor data only, labelled as such: Sri Penara's Brickz excerpt ("median price per square foot is RM466, with a median property price of RM301,000", range RM250,000-360,000) and irumah's "Bandar Sri Permaisuri recent median price RM330 psf" are context, never a Cendana denominator. PG's subsale snippet "RM120,000 - RM250,000" rides the same class. Purchase stays owner-input; your own dated sale is the only denominator.
Short-stay and costs. The Airbnb entity is Cheras-level — no Cendana-named unit; the named neighbours are SGD-locale artifacts quoted as-is: "Altitude Stay | Arte Cheras KL — $328 SGD", "LuxuryLoft @Arte Cheras |Walk to MRT & TRX (6 Pax) — $259 SGD", "Eko Vibe KL: Mall&MRT Next Door A.5.11 — $195 SGD", "Central Loft MRT & KLCC Nearby @Eko cheras A.15.21 — $229 SGD" — never converted. Maintenance, the building pet policy and quit rent: not published on any checked page; operating default RM330 a month fenced; council is DBKL. A durable SPEEDRENO fit-out is what makes the compact plate compete on condition, the only lever it has.
Why one compact plate beside two stations is a policy decision
Cendana is three 16-17-storey leasehold blocks in Bandar Sri Permaisuri, completed around 2005-2008, every unit the same compact 3-bed/2-bath plate of 616-650 sq ft — about 500-700 m from both the Salak Selatan LRT and KTM stations, with Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz beside it. Two public-record conflicts ride the title documents and this page asserts neither: the unit count (one insight page lists 144, desk records point higher) and the developer attribution (Danau Lumayan is the recorded master-township developer; one insight page names Tan & Tan, which is a different KLCC project). When the layout is fixed, policy and condition are the whole game: who the MC lets in, what state the unit is in, whether rooms are permitted. Pets: the MC policy is not published, and SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly regardless — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — with pet-friendly setups earning roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry and the by-law variance in the same letter.
5 checks before you commit
-
Read the real title document — leasehold is the record, and the parcel plan settles the unit-count and developer conflicts the public record cannot. Done: you hold the individual issue document of title.
-
Get the MC's written stance — multi-tenancy, short-stay and pets in one request; on a single-plate building, the by-law text is close to the whole business model. The cat-friendly offer stands regardless — SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — and the by-law variance travels in the same letter. Done: the clauses, in writing, with the COB filing date.
-
Run the room probe before any split — the corridor band flips the verdict inside itself; only an in-building room rate settles which side you are on. Done: a real room let, or a written refusal.
-
Price the exit on your own dated sale — the asks are snippets and the transacted rows are corridor-class; RM210,000-240,000 is the ask shape, not the exit. Done: your own comp, in writing.
-
Ask for the fee schedule — nothing is published; three blocks of mass-market stock carry real services risk. Done: the current schedule and the last three years in writing.
FAQ
What yield does Cendana Apartment give?
Worked, asking-basis, snippet-grade, gross, before the 2.19% processing fee: RM800-1,500 x 12 = RM9,600-18,000 on RM210,000-240,000 asks = 4.0-8.6%; the mid pair, RM1,050 on ~RM220,000, is 5.7%. No Cendana-specific transacted denominator exists — bring your own dated sale.
Can you rent out rooms at Cendana?
The arithmetic flips inside the band: at corridor room rates RM300-750 a 3-bed split grosses RM900-2,250 against a RM800-1,500 whole book — the split wins only at the upper room rates, and the whole-unit holds at the lower. Both sides carried, no verdict: the in-building probe and the MC's written position decide it; see the room rental and co-living guide.
Is short stay allowed at Cendana?
No unit names the building on the short-stay grid — the entity is Cheras-level and the named neighbours (SGD, quoted as-is) are other products. The MC's written stance gates the model.
Are pets allowed at Cendana?
The MC policy is not published. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; the offer is our policy, and the by-law variance travels in the same letter. Pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry.
What running it looks like
Setup is three documents plus one discipline: the title (which also settles the two record conflicts), the MC's written stance, the fee schedule — and condition-led spend on a plate whose only lever is state. The work is one clean household per unit — zero deposit, SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the rent collection, and you approve the tenant before anything is signed; the family-only framing on the live card is the market telling you who rents here. The plans sit on top: Standard at RM799 + SST a year, Protect at one month's rent, Protect+ at one and a half.
Ready? List your Cendana unit with SPEEDHOME — zero deposit, we run the viewings, you approve the tenant.
The own-board read with lifetime counters, the condo.com.my and PG snippets, the ask snippets, the corridor Brickz/irumah excerpts and the Airbnb Cheras-level entity are of 10 October 2026 (evidence file cendana-apartment-market-evidence-2026-10-10.yaml, lane bi-mine-03); live in-building portal rent cards were NOT read this sweep — snippet-grade labelled hard, re-sweep named; the corridor transacted rows (Sri Penara RM466 psf / RM301,000; Bandar Sri Permaisuri RM330 psf) are context only, never a Cendana denominator; the room-split verdict deliberately printed unresolved — the artifact's own instruction to carry both sides of a band that flips; the SGD short-stay figures are locale artifacts quoted as-is, never converted; the unit-count and developer conflicts ride the title documents, asserted neither way.
