The verdict at Dataran Otomobil is the whole-unit default on a one-card book — with the measured demand sitting in small formats and the room split as the open money question at this building. One in-building rent card surfaced this sweep: the Mudah snippet at RM1,700 for a 770 sqft 3-bed. No dedicated card on our own board — first-mover ground over a corridor where our studio machine carries 107 to 186 requests. Rooms are already marketed at the building, and the corridor room format sits at RM900: the evidence file's own arithmetic, 2-3 rooms at RM900, grosses RM1,800-2,700 — above the whole-unit snippet, but no in-building room rate was ever measured. The sale side was not read this sweep: no denominator, no yield math, purchase stays yours. Short-stay: unmeasured, no rates quoted.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card and put in your own numbers. The rent field loads RM1,700 — the single in-building card this sweep produced, a search snippet, labelled hard. The purchase field stays yours: the sale side was not collected this sweep, so no denominator exists to load. The rooms card runs the corridor room-format anchor at RM900, labelled corridor-grade — the in-building room rate is unmeasured. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
First-party first: zero dedicated cards. Our slug page renders the template title "Zero Deposit Houses for Rent in Dataran Otomobil Apartment Shah Alam" over a five-card corridor pool — none in-building. That is first-mover ground, and the corridor pool itself is the measured story: Suria Jaya e-SOFO at RM1,150 for 450 sqft carries 186 requests and 34 viewings (pet-friendly) — the densest small-unit counter of its sweep; Suria Jaya at RM1,250 for 430 sqft carries 135; Studio Fourteen at RM1,100 for 450 sqft carries 107; Suria Jaya E-Sofo at RM1,200 carries 37. A studio band of RM1,100-1,250 pulling 107-186 lifetime requests each is the measured tenant pool around Seksyen 15 — and it rents small formats, not 3-beds.
The building's own rent: one snippet card. Mudah, raw snippet: "Dataran Otomobil Apartment, Shah Alam – For Rent ... RM 1,700/month, 770 sq.ft, 3 bed / 2 bath". That is the entire building-level book this sweep. The portal counts around it are thin and unreconciled: PropertyGuru shows 4 rentals, iProperty one at roughly 750 sqft, EdgeProp averages sit on roughly 829 sqft — and every one of those plates conflicts with the project record's 834-850 sq ft band, recorded verbatim, asserted neither way. The title settles the plate; the snippet anchors the rent.
Rooms — marketed at the building, rate never measured. iBilik, raw snippet: "Cozy Bilik Room Single Bedroom Dataran Otomobil ... SINGLE master bedroom for rent at Dataran Otomobil Shah Alam Seksyen 15 in very GOOD conditions. Master Bed Room Available NOW!" — presence, no rate. The corridor's room-format anchor is measured on our own board: Vista Alam at RM900 for a 150 sqft room-format card, pet-friendly, 106 requests. On those corridor rates the evidence file's own arithmetic runs 2-3 rooms at RM900 = RM1,800-2,700 against the RM1,700 whole-unit snippet — the split clears it. That is the named upside, argued only on corridor-labelled inputs, gated on an in-building rate sweep and the JMB's written position. It is not a verdict.
Sale and short-stay: honest gaps, not numbers. The sale side was not collected this sweep — no Brickz row, no transacted basis, no denominator. Yield math is withheld rather than invented; bring your own dated sale. Short-stay was not read either — no building-named rate exists to quote, and the JMB's written stance gates the model regardless. Maintenance, quit rent and the MC pet policy are not published on any surface read; running costs default to RM330 a month as a fenced placeholder; council is MBSA. See the SPEEDRENO fit-out guide before committing capital to a 2005-2007 band scheme.
Why a shop-apartment above the automotive lots is a small-format story
Dataran Otomobil is a PKNS leasehold scheme of 4 to 5-storey blocks — roughly 800 residential units above automotive and retail lots on Jalan Pahat 15/J, near IDCC Shah Alam, the Toyota assembly plant and the LKSA. The tenant pool the stub named — automotive and logistics technicians, event staff, industrial-workforce families — is exactly the pool our corridor counters measure, and it rents studios and rooms, not family 3-beds. That mismatch is the real decision: a 3-bed whole-let competes for a thinner family demand, while the split rides the measured small-format pool. One completion-year conflict travels with the record and is asserted neither way: the body records say a band of 2005 to 2007, this page's earlier signature said around 2006 — the strata register settles. Pets: the JMB position is unpublished, but the offer stands regardless, because SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — and pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry; the by-law variance travels in the same letter.
5 checks before you commit
-
Read the real title document — leasehold, 99-year term expiring around 2102 per the project records, with the quit-rent line. Done: you hold the individual issue document of title.
-
Get the JMB's written stance — short-stay, multi-tenancy and pets in one request; the room split at this building lives or dies on this letter. Done: the clauses, in writing, with the COB filing date.
-
Ask for the fee schedule and the sinking-fund balance — nothing is published, and a low-rise shop-apartment block's upkeep rides on the commercial-lot base below it. Done: the current schedule and the last three years in writing.
-
Confirm the plate on the strata plan — the 770 sqft snippet card and the ~750 sqft portal flat against the project record's 834-850 sq ft band; underwrite the built-up you own. Done: the parcel's built-up, confirmed on title.
-
Price against the corridor machine, not the snippet — one card is an anchor, not a book; the 186-request studio record is the demand read this corridor offers. Done: your own dated comps, in writing.
FAQ
What yield does Dataran Otomobil give?
No yield is printable: the sale side was not collected this sweep, so no denominator exists. The RM1,700 card is an asking snippet, not a transaction. Work the calculator with your own dated purchase price — the arithmetic checks itself as you type.
Can you rent out rooms at Dataran Otomobil?
Rooms are already marketed at the building — the iBilik master-room card — but no in-building rate was measured. The corridor room format sits at RM900 (Vista Alam, 106 requests), and the evidence file's own arithmetic puts 2-3 rooms at RM1,800-2,700 against the RM1,700 whole-unit snippet. Upside, not verdict: the JMB's written position and an in-building rate sweep gate it; see the room rental and co-living guide.
Is short stay allowed at Dataran Otomobil?
No short-stay read was taken this sweep and no building-named rate exists to quote. Presence on any platform would not be permission anyway — the JMB's written stance gates the model.
Are pets allowed at Dataran Otomobil?
The JMB position 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 with the plate conflict settled, the JMB's written stance, the fee schedule — and condition-first spending on a low-rise 2005-2007 band scheme whose demand rides the industrial corridor around it.

The board read with lifetime counters, the Mudah snippet, the portal counts, the iBilik room card and the iProperty project record are of 10 October 2026 (evidence file dataran-otomobil-apartment-market-evidence-2026-10-10.yaml, lane bi-mine-04, server readers); the RM1,700 card and the corridor counters are the quoted anchors — snippet-grade and first-party respectively, none loaded as a transacted fact; the sale side, short-stay rates and the fee schedule were not collected or published this sweep — recorded as gaps, never invented; the 2-3 rooms x RM900 = RM1,800-2,700 split is the evidence file's own corridor-derived arithmetic, printed as the named upside gated on an in-building rate sweep and the JMB letter; the completion-year conflict (band 2005-2007 vs around 2006) and the plate conflict (770/~750 vs 834-850 sq ft) are recorded verbatim, asserted neither way — the title and the strata register settle them.
