The verdict at Ken Damansara III is a zero-signal verdict — the honest page says so first. No live in-building card surfaced on any channel this sweep: not on our board, not on the portals. Everything this page runs on is labelled for what it is — sibling (Ken Damansara I at RM2,700 pet-friendly on our board; the RM2,500 exemplar card is titled Ken Damansara 2), corridor (SS2/PJ rooms RM580-900 measured), or phase-grouped (Brickz's "KEN DAMANSARA" row at median RM613,000 / RM528 psf groups the phases). Derived, sibling/excerpt-basis and assumption-labelled, gross, before the 2.19% processing fee: RM2,000-2,500 on the RM613,000 median = 3.9-4.9% — a steady family-let, not a machine. One asking conflict recorded unreconciled: excerpt prices "from ~RM 180,000-290,000" are implausible for a 1,057-1,200 sqft three-bed — likely stale or mis-scraped, flagged — against "around RM 650,000 starting price" per iProperty, which aligns with Brickz. Whole-unit family-let default stands.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card and put in your own numbers — both headline fields stay yours to fill: no in-building card exists to load a rent from, and the Brickz row groups the phases, so it never loads a purchase. Bring your own dated in-building comparable and the calculator does the rest.

What can you earn?
First-party first: the board title reads "Properties for Rent in Ken Damansara Iii" with no zero-deposit count — zero dedicated. The only Ken-family card is a sibling: Ken Damansara I at RM2,700, pet-friendly, 3 requests and 2 viewings, listed 2026-09-22. The SS2/PJ corridor around it is measured and converting on our own platform: Pinnacle Petaling Jaya RM2,500 at 54 requests and 9 viewings, Centrestage RM1,800 at 27 and 6, Taman Putra Perdana RM2,200 pet-friendly at 79, PJ Midtown RM3,000 at 1 — a corridor band of RM580-3,000 with real demand counters.
The rent evidence is excerpt-grade and identity-flagged where it should be: "Starting rent: ~RM 1,150–1,500/month (per iProperty)"; "iProperty – ~7 units listed for rent at Ken Damansara 3"; "3-bedroom units: ~RM 2,500/month (e.g., 1,200–1,290 sqft, fully furnished, with 2 car parks)" — and that RM2,500 exemplar card is titled "Ken Damansara 2, Jalan SS", a sibling phase on the same street class. Quoted, never loaded.
The sale side carries two flags. The Brickz row "KEN DAMANSARA, PETALING JAYA" reads: "The median price per square foot is RM528, with a median property price of RM613,000. Transactions ranged from RM551,500 to RM647,500" — but the row groups the Ken Damansara phases; III-specific transacted prices are unknown, so the median is context, never a denominator. The asking excerpts conflict outright: "from ~RM 180,000–290,000 (MalaysiaMostWanted)" against "around RM 650,000 starting price per iProperty" — the RM 180,000-290,000 class is implausible for this plate and flagged as likely stale or mis-scraped; RM 650,000 aligns with the Brickz median. Worked, assumption-labelled, gross, before 2.19%: RM2,000-2,500 x 12 = RM24,000-30,000 on RM613,000 = 3.9-4.9%. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
The alternatives, fenced. Rooms: the corridor room machine is real and measured — Tiara Damansara Section 17 at RM580 SMALL with 39 requests, Jasmine Towers at RM600 with 12, Sunway Dhill at RM900 MEDIUM pet-friendly with 13 — but no in-building room evidence exists at III; split arithmetic (3 x RM580-900 = RM1,740-2,700 against the RM2,000-2,500 whole band) is marginal and assumption-labelled only. Short-stay: not collected this sweep — no claim either way. Costs: the RM0.25 psf maintenance figure is sibling Ken Damansara 2's, quoted from its project page — on III's 1,100 sqft plate that derives to roughly RM275 a month, sibling-basis, never III's own; quit rent not published.
Why a 216-unit SS2 freehold runs whole-unit
Ken Damansara III is KEN Holdings' freehold 2008 estate on Jalan SS2/72 — 216 three-bed units in two blocks up to 21 storeys, Type A at ~1,057 sqft and Type B at ~1,200, residential strata under the Strata Management Act 2013, governance under MBPJ. SS2 is PJ's family-and-food belt: steady household demand, no tourist economy to speak of, and a corridor room machine that belongs to other buildings. A one-product 216-unit estate in that belt reads one way — the whole-unit family let is the model, and the zero-signal market makes your own dated comparable the only price that counts. The pet picture is offer-level: sibling Ken Damansara I flies pet-friendly on our board; pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — whatever the handbook says; the offer is our policy, the by-law variance is one line in the same letter.
5 checks before you commit
-
Get the current maintenance and sinking-fund statements — and treat the RM0.25 psf line as what it is. That figure is sibling Ken Damansara 2's, not III's; your MC schedule is the only number that counts, and the sinking-fund balance is a named pending check. Done: the latest pack, in writing.
-
Read the real title document — freehold strata parcel; it settles Type A versus Type B and the parcel's own title category. Done: you hold the copy.
-
Read the house rules as they stand today — multi-tenancy, pets and short-stay clauses gate every model above whole-unit. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — whatever the handbook says. Done: the current by-law text.
-
Bring your own dated in-building comparable before any price. Zero live cards exist this sweep; the sibling RM2,700 and the excerpt RM1,150-2,500 band are context, and the phase-grouped Brickz median is not III's file. Done: your comparable, dated and same-format.
-
Spend on condition, not on reconfiguring — RM20,000 lean and RM40,000 premium are SPEEDRENO planning assumptions, not quotes; SS2 family tenants price dependable fittings. See the SPEEDRENO fit-out guide. Done: scope stays reversible.
FAQ
What yield does Ken Damansara III give?
No in-building rent card exists this sweep, so no in-building yield exists either. Assumption-labelled arithmetic only: RM2,000-2,500 on the phase-grouped RM613,000 Brickz median = 3.9-4.9% gross, before the 2.19% processing fee — sibling/excerpt-basis, and the Brickz row groups the Ken Damansara phases, so III-specific transacted prices are unknown.
Can you rent out rooms at Ken Damansara III?
The in-building room market is unmeasured — no card on any channel. The corridor room machine is real (Tiara Damansara RM580 at 39 requests, Sunway Dhill RM900) and split arithmetic of RM1,740-2,700 against the RM2,000-2,500 whole band is marginal, assumption-labelled only. See the room rental and co-living guide.
Is short stay allowed at Ken Damansara III?
The short-stay channel was not collected this sweep — this page makes no claim either way. SS2 is a family corridor; MBPJ and the MC's written by-laws govern, and transient income stays zero in the maths until the written rules arrive.
Are pets allowed at Ken Damansara III?
The MC's position is not published. What is measured is offer-level: sibling Ken Damansara I's card flies pet-friendly on our board. Pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry. 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.
What running it looks like
Setup is two documents plus one discipline: the title copy (Type A/B settled), the current house rules and MC fee schedule — and one dated in-building comparable before any price, because this building's market is a named re-sweep away from measurable. The work is one clean 3-bed to an SS2 household — zero deposit, SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the rent collection, and you approve the tenant before anything is signed. The plans sit on top: Standard at RM799 + SST a year, Protect at one month's rent, Protect+ at one and a half.
