This page answers the decision questions a tenant typically has about Ivory Residence: indicative rent by layout, an honest check on transit access (3.9 km to Kajang MRT means you need a car, motorbike, or bus — not a walkable commute), what to inspect at viewing, who the building actually suits, and what to ask before signing.

How much is rent at Ivory Residence?

Asking rent at Ivory Residence tracks the Kajang corridor for a freehold condo this age and size; the live SPEEDHOME listing is the source of truth for any specific unit.

Layout Built-up (sqft) What you actually pay
3-bedroom (the building's standard layout) ~1,249–1,288 Check live listings — asking rent moves with floor, view and furnishing
Other layouts (if listed) Varies Confirm on the specific unit listing — the development's published profile is predominantly 3-bedroom

Move-in cash to budget: first month's rent + half-month utility deposit + small stamping fee via e-Duti Setem. Zero Deposit on eligible SPEEDHOME listings replaces the security-deposit leg; the utility deposit and rent in advance still apply.

Who Ivory Residence suits — and who should look elsewhere

Ivory Residence fits tenants whose priorities match the specific block and the surrounding neighbourhood; tenants with a very different commute or family-size need should pick a different building in the same corridor.

It fits you if you are

  • Working in or near Kajang, Bangi, or southern Klang Valley and OK with a 3-bedroom-sized unit
  • Comfortable driving, motorbiking, or bussing to Kajang MRT rather than walking to it
  • Looking for a freehold condo (not leasehold) in this price corridor
  • Fine with a mid-2010s-completion building — facilities exist (pool, gym, badminton hall) but expect some wear versus a brand-new launch
  • Looking for ZD eligibility, no-agent-fee, or a verified-listing workflow on SPEEDHOME

Look elsewhere if you are

  • Car-free and need a building genuinely within walking distance of a rail station — 3.9 km to Kajang MRT rules this out
  • Need a layout smaller than 3-bedroom — the building's published unit mix is predominantly 3-bedroom, so studios or 2-bedrooms may not be available here
  • Need a brand-new (post-2020) building with fresher fittings
  • Working primarily in the KL city centre or Petaling Jaya corridor, where the daily commute from Kajang adds real time

Honest drawbacks of Ivory Residence

The main trade-offs at Ivory Residence are the 3.9 km gap to Kajang MRT, a 2015-era building age, and a unit mix that skews toward 3-bedroom — confirm what's actually on the live listing before you commit.

  • Not MRT-walkable — 3.9 km to Kajang station means a car, motorbike, bus (route 450 or T457), or e-hailing trip, not a walk. Test the actual commute time before signing.
  • Building age — completed around 2015, so expect normal wear on common-area fittings versus a newer launch; ask the management office about recent maintenance.
  • Limited layout variety — the development is predominantly 3-bedroom (~1,249–1,288 sqft); if you need a smaller or larger unit, check whether one is actually listed before falling in love with the building.
  • Parking bay inclusion — confirm in writing whether a bay is included in rent or priced separately.
  • Peak-hour congestion — the Kajang corridor runs long peak-hour times into KL/PJ; budget the realistic drive, not the off-peak estimate.

What to check before viewing and signing

Confirm the commute from your specific block, test water pressure and aircon, check parking bay inclusion, and pay only to verified accounts. Take dated handover photos before moving in.

Item to check Why it matters
Real commute route Driving time varies by destination and peak hour — test it before signing
Parking bay Confirm whether the bay is included in rent or priced separately
Water pressure Multi-floor buildings can have pressure variation; test in bathrooms and kitchen
Aircon condition Test all units; repair or replacement is a common dispute point
Furnishing inventory Photograph every item and surface before move-in
Payment route Verify the landlord or agent through the SPEEDHOME platform before paying — never cash only or to an unverified personal account
Stamped tenancy agreement Do not move in without a stamped TA; stamping is via e-Duti Setem on MyTax
Access card fee Some corridors charge separately for the access card or replacements; confirm up front

Use the move-in and move-out checklist to prepare a complete handover record. Dated, acknowledged photos are your main protection if a dispute arises at the end of the tenancy.

Compare nearby buildings

Compare live listings in the same corridor and the same rent band before deciding — buildings at the same headline rent can differ sharply on furnishing, parking and transit access.

What SPEEDHOME adds on top of public portals: live asking rent refreshed on every listing, ZD eligibility flagged per unit, and a no-agent-fee option on selected listings — useful when a competitor portal already shows the same building but offers only an enquiry form. Browse live rentals on SPEEDHOME to compare the same-corridor and same-band options side by side.

Renting at Ivory Residence with Zero Deposit

Zero Deposit on SPEEDHOME replaces the upfront cash deposit on eligible Ivory Residence listings. It is a managed rental-risk system — not a financial guarantee product — and not every unit qualifies.

Zero Deposit is SPEEDHOME's managed rental-risk system. It replaces the upfront cash deposit so tenants move in without tying up cash, while landlords stay protected through rental protection instead of holding a deposit. For severe end-of-tenancy damage beyond fair wear and tear, the standard protection claims process applies.

Browse live rentals on SPEEDHOME to see which Ivory Residence listings carry Zero Deposit and no-agent-fee options. Eligibility is per listing, not building-wide — confirm on the live listing before applying.

FAQ

How much rent should I expect to pay at Ivory Residence in 2026?

Indicative asking rent varies by layout, floor, and furnishing. Studios typically start at the lower end of the corridor range, 2-bedroom units make up the bulk of enquiry volume for many buildings (SPEEDHOME platform data), and 3-bedroom units sit at the upper end. Check the live SPEEDHOME listing for the current asking on the specific unit — published portal ranges are indicative only.

Is Ivory Residence pet-friendly?

Pet policy is set by the management corporation and individual landlords, not at the building-name level. Some owners allow cats or small dogs with a refundable pet deposit; others prohibit pets entirely. Ask for the house rules in writing and check with the management office before you apply or move a pet in.

Are units at Ivory Residence furnished or unfurnished?

Furnishing varies by unit and landlord even within the same 3-bedroom layout. Confirm the inventory list on the live listing and photograph every item at handover.

What is the typical deposit at Ivory Residence?

Standard market practice in the Klang Valley is two months' rent as the security deposit, plus half a month's rent as the utility deposit, plus the first month's rent in advance — so 3.5 months' value of cash to move in for a furnished unit. On eligible SPEEDHOME listings, Zero Deposit replaces the security-deposit leg; the utility deposit and rent in advance still apply. Eligibility is per listing, not building-wide.

Can I rent at Ivory Residence with Zero Deposit?

Zero Deposit options are available through SPEEDHOME on selected listings. Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system — it replaces the upfront cash deposit; you remain responsible for the condition of the unit at move-out. Check live listings to confirm which units qualify — not every unit is eligible.
