OTR and OCD Terms of Use

The terms and conditions of this Agreement govern your subscription of the On-Time Rental (“OTR”) and Overstay Cash Defender (“OCD”) services provided by Speedrent Technology Sdn. Bhd. (Company No: 201601005661) of A-G-23, Eve Suite, Jalan PJU 1A/41, Ara Damansara, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia (“Speedrent”) or (“SPEEDHOME”), a Malaysian entity, either itself or through its subsidiaries or licensees, via various electronic platforms such as the Speedrent mobile application or any other platforms designated by SPEEDHOME.

1.   Prerequisite

1.1. OTR – the OTR service is an add-on service only for subscribers of the Extended+ insurance plan. The subscriber must sign or have signed the tenancy agreement via Speedsign. OTR prohibits tenancy agreements which have more than one rental value across the stipulated tenancy period.

1.2. OCD – the OCD service is a complimentary service provided by SPEEDHOME only for subscribers who have purchased Allianz Landlord insurance coverage through SPEEDHOME, subject to the terms of Paragraph 3.

2.   SPEEDHOME’s Obligation – OTR

2.1. During the insurance policy’s insured period and on a monthly basis (excluding first month), SPEEDHOME will perform OTR transfer to the subscriber for an amount according to the outstanding balance or the selected insurance plan’s coverage limit, whichever is lower. Refer Clause 7 – OTR Threshold for illustration.

2.2. Each OTR transfer will be capped to one month’s rental and will be transferred no later than the monthly rental due date as stated in the tenancy agreement and only if there is an unpaid rental invoice. OTR transfers will be made only up to the monthly loss of rental coverage amount under the Allianz Landlord insurance purchased by the subscriber. Refer Clause 7 – OTR Threshold for illustration.

2.3. If the subscriber’s tenant pays SPEEDHOME after the due date, the funds will be made priority to be offset against any unsettled OTR made by SPEEDHOME and not be transferred to the subscriber.

2.4. “Due date” is referring to the latest amended due date agreed upon by the subscriber and tenant if the due date was amended after the tenancy agreement was signed.

	Insurance Claims Approved Partially	Insurance Claims Not Approved

Rental Default Claim Proceeds	RM1,100	RM0
Subscriber Transfer Back to SPEEDHOME	RM900	RM2,000

5.3. SPEEDHOME will offset the OTR amount which is limited to 2 months’ of rental against the rental default claim proceeds approved by the insurance company.

6.   Terms

6.1. Except where the context otherwise requires, or unless these terms and conditions otherwise provide, all words and expressions used or referred to in this terms and conditions have the same meanings as provided for in the Tenancy Agreement (SPEEDHOME Software Service) & Supplemental Terms of Use.

7. OTR Threshold

7.1 The OTR payout will be capped according to the insurance plan purchased from Allianz General Insurance via SPEEDHOME. This will apply to all NEW and EXISTING OTR subscribers for respective tenancy with OTR subscription.

7.2 The threshold limit will follow all of the following criteria:

(a) The OTR threshold limit the OTR which will not pay out more than the loss of rental coverage amount after the excess applied (This excess only applies to Basic insurance plan while Extended Plan will receive full);

(b) In the event that the subscriber has downgraded the loss of rental coverage which does not fully cover the rental as per tenancy agreement, the loss of rental payout will be capped at the selected plan plus RM100 as the maximum coverage range. For example, if you select RM2000 as loss of rental coverage, it will be covered up to RM2100 for loss of rental coverage; and

(c) In the event of a rental invoice being amended to higher or lower than the tenancy agreement stipulated rental rate due to prior rental deferment or staged rental rate arrangement, the OTR will be capped according to the selected coverage amount after excess or the rental invoice, whichever is lower.

7.3 Offset priority under OTR Threshold

(a) In the event that the tenant made any partial payment after the OTR paid out, the partial payment from the tenant will be made as first priority to offset against the unsettled OTR prior to payout to the landlord. For illustration, Tenant paid only RM1,500 for rental invoice of RM2,000 while OTR of RM1600 is paid to the subscriber prior to tenant’s partial payment, there will be no payout to the subscriber in regards to the partial payment of RM1,500 due to priority offset against the RM1600 OTR. Upon the tenant making the subsequent partial payment of RM400 to clear the outstanding, the landlord will then receive the balance of RM400.

Illutration’s terminology definition
Excess: For basic insurance plan, the loss of rent will be applied with 20% deduction for excess purpose which the unpaid rent will cover up to 80% only. For Extended or Extended+ insurance plan, there’s no excess
Downgrade: Insured choose to purchase a lower loss of rental plan instead of purchasing the insurance coverage same as the rental rate.
Partial payment: In the event that tenant made a partial payment prior to the OTR being performed, OTR will payout based on the LOR coverage amount after excess and the outstanding rental amount, whichever amount is lower
