Mentari Court: Rental Investment

The verdict at Mentari Court is the whole-unit default confirmed, with a measured rooms upside — and the deepest exit in the fleet: Brickz carries 1,258 sold transactions at a RM380,000 median (RM490 psf), quoted never loaded. The own-board book is RM1,000-1,350 across four dedicated cards; the RM1,000 card carries 29 requests. Worked at the Brickz median, asking-basis, before 2.19%: RM1,000-1,350 x 12 = RM12,000-16,200 on RM380,000 = 3.2-4.3% — consistent with the 4.07% EdgeProp prints. Rooms are measured in-building, the rare class: RM390 single on our own board, RM550 master by raw snippet; a 3-bed split at RM1,170-1,650 clears the whole-unit top. Short-stay: zero building-named units. Maintenance: not published.

Three ways to run your unit

Pick a model card and put in your own numbers. The rent field loads RM1,000 — the deepest-counter own-board card, floor of the measured four-card book — and the purchase field stays yours: the RM380,000 Brickz median is an excerpt with unstated dates, quoted never loaded. The rooms card carries the measured RM390-550 band as the named upside, gated on the written management position. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?

First-party first: five dedicated cards, four of them whole-unit, 2022 to 2026 vintages. "APARTMENT MENTARI COURT" RM1,350 with 25 requests and 6 viewings, live since 4 March 2022; "Mentari Court Apartment" RM1,000 with 29 requests and 5 viewings, since 31 December 2022 — the deepest counter; "Mentari Court 1, Bandar Sunway" RM1,350 with 20; "Mentari Court, Bandar Sunway" RM1,300 with 10, since 26 September 2024. The entity title reads "5 Zero Deposit Houses for Rent in Mentari Court Petaling Jaya · 35 nearby". PropertyGuru's excerpt counts "21 Mentari Court condos for Rent" — supply context only, excerpt-grade, and its cut-off "starts from" fragment is never quoted as a price.

The rooms, measured in-building — the rare class. Our own board carries id 302970, "NON-SHARING Single Room near Sunway Pyramid & BRT - Free WiFi" at BLK G: RM390, pet-friendly, 19 requests and 3 viewings in its first month. The master-room datum is abilik's raw snippet: "Master bedroom - Have Private Toilet inside the room Payment: 1st month rental = RM 550 monthly" (the full move-in arithmetic sits in the evidence file). Split arithmetic on measured-only: RM390-550 x 3 = RM1,170-1,650, which clears the whole-unit book's top — a named upside gated on each block's written management position, never a default flip. The registry's room bands (RM600-700 / RM800-900 / RM1000-1200) remain labelled defaults.

The sale side — the fleet-deepest denominator, honest about grade. Brickz, raw snippet: "Mentari Court have 1258 sold Non-Landed Transactions . Median price RM380 ... The median price per square foot is RM490, with a median property price of RM380,000". The area row reads RM492 psf and RM510,000 over 1,334 Sunway transactions. The family page's EdgeProp record — 200 units at RM452-516 psf — is page-anchor grade. All quoted, none loaded: transaction dates are unstated, so purchase stays owner-input. EdgeProp's project page prints "Rental Yield ** 4.07%" — their arithmetic, printed not derived; ours is the worked band above, and the two agree.

Short-stay and costs. Zero Airbnb units name the building — "no title mentions Mentari" outside the search bar; the corridor shows "Comfy room for 2 beside Sunway Pyramid - RM 350 for 5 nights" and "Modern Classic | 6 pax | Greenfield Rsd | Sunway - RM 1,605", other products. Maintenance and sinking fund are not published anywhere read — the budget walk-up class, and block-level fees may differ between the original blocks and Buildings E-G, which is a JMB question. Quit rent not published; council is MBPJ. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.

Why a block-split leasehold holds Sunway's commuter book

Mentari Group built this estate leasehold in two waves behind Setia Jaya KTM: the original four 18-storey blocks of 3-bed/2-bath apartments (sizes unstated on the developer record), and Mentari Court 2 — Buildings E, F and G, three further 18-storey blocks at 770-773 sqft, completed around 2009. Two owners who both "own Mentari Court" own different investments; the cards themselves carry the block names, and the BLK G room card is the pet-friendly measured anchor for the E-G side. The demand is Sunway's — township retail, theme-park hospitality, campus and the KTM commute — a whole-unit and small-household pool, not a nightly-visitor pool. Pets: the MC 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.

5 checks before you commit

  1. Read the real title document — leasehold is the record; confirm the parcel's block (A-D original or E-G Mentari Court 2), expiry and quit-rent line. Done: you hold the individual issue document of title.

  2. Get the block's MC written stance — short-stay, multi-tenancy and pets in one request; a rule from another block's AGM is not your rule. Done: the clauses, in writing, with the COB filing date.

  3. Ask the JMB for the block-level fee schedule — maintenance is unpublished and the original blocks may not pay what Buildings E-G pay. Done: the current schedule and the last three years in writing.

  4. Verify the sale side yourself — the 1,258-transaction Brickz row is a search excerpt with unstated dates; your own dated sale is the only denominator that counts. Done: your own comp, in writing.

  5. Decide the rooms question deliberately — RM390-550 measured in-building makes the split a real option, not a theory; the block's written management position gates it. Done: your model, chosen on purpose. See the SPEEDRENO fit-out guide.

FAQ

What yield does Mentari Court give?

Worked, asking-basis at the Brickz median, gross, before the 2.19% processing fee: RM1,000-1,350 x 12 = RM12,000-16,200 on RM380,000 = 3.2-4.3% — consistent with the 4.07% EdgeProp prints. Thin family-let economics: the exit is deep, the running yield is honest at what it is. Bring your own dated sale.

Can you rent out rooms at Mentari Court?

Yes, measurably: RM390 for a non-sharing single on our own board (BLK G, pet-friendly, 19 requests in a month) and RM550 for a master with private toilet by raw snippet. Three rooms at RM390-550 = RM1,170-1,650, above the whole-unit top. The block's written management position gates the model; see the room rental and co-living guide.

Is short stay allowed at Mentari Court?

No unit names the building on the short-stay grid — the corridor cards (RM350 and RM1,605 for five nights) belong to other products. The MC's written stance gates the model regardless.

Are pets allowed at Mentari Court?

The MC position is not published, but the measured BLK G room card on our own board runs pet-friendly — an offer-level anchor, not a by-law. 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 three documents plus one discipline: the title with the block stated, the block MC's written stance, the fee schedule — and commuter-grade furnishing priced for a RM1,000-1,350 book, because this estate lets to households that ride the KTM line, not to gloss. The work is one clean household per unit on a 770-773 sqft 3-bed — 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.
