Rumah sewa Datum Jelatek Keramat — quick read before you book a viewing
Rumah sewa Datum Jelatek Keramat suits tenants who want a modern mid-rise condo on the Ampang side of KL, with road access to Jalan Jelatek, Jalan Ampang and central KL. Indicative rent band: roughly RM1,200 to RM2,800 depending on layout, floor and furnishing. Start with the live rumah sewa Datum Jelatek Keramat listings on SPEEDHOME for current asking rents and verified units.
The Datum Jelatek address sits inside the wider Jelatek-Keramat corridor — close to Jalan Ampang on one side and the Keramat residential pocket on the other. For tenants, what matters is not the project marketing name but the practical fit: commute, unit size, building facilities, and whether Zero Deposit applies to that specific listing. This guide is written for someone typing "rumah sewa Datum Jelatek Keramat" into a search bar — a Malay-language tenant query that lands on English content — so the angle here is the practical decision frame, not a developer brochure.
What you actually get for the rent
Rent here is driven by layout, floor, facing and furnishing rather than the building name. Treat any quoted band as indicative; the SPEEDHOME listing feed is the only source of truth for current asking rent on a specific unit.
| Layout | What typically varies the price | Where to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom | Floor level, facing, furnishing package, parking bay | Live listing card |
| 2-bedroom | View, renovation condition, facilities tier | Live listing card |
| 3-bedroom / family layout | Rarer; premium for higher floors or dual-key layouts | Live listing card |
| Furnished vs unfurnished | Furnished units command more; ask what is included | Live listing card |
| Parking bays | Some listings include one bay; extra bays cost more | Confirm in tenancy agreement |
Before viewing, lock down the exact block, parking bay allocation, access-card count and move-in rules. Unit photos show the cleanest version of a unit, not always the one you will move into.
Building snapshot
Datum Jelatek is a modern mid-rise condominium project on the Jelatek side of the corridor — high-rise, access-card entry, with the usual shared facilities. Publicly visible building facts (block count, tenure, completion year, developer) are verifiable from the developer's published materials; treat any figure you cannot cross-check as "to be confirmed".
| What to know | Detail |
|---|---|
| Location | Jelatek, Kuala Lumpur (alongside the Keramat pocket, Ampang side) |
| Building type | Mid-to-high-rise condominium, access-card entry |
| Typical facilities | Pool, gym, multi-storey parking, security post |
| Nearby access roads | Jalan Jelatek, Jalan Ampang, links toward MRR2 and Setiawangsa |
| Indicative drive to KLCC fringe | Roughly 15 to 25 minutes off-peak, longer at peak |
| Rail access | No LRT station within a direct walk; nearest Ampang-line station needs a drive or ride-hail |
Cross-check any specific figure (block count, completion year, facility count) with the developer's current page or the building management before relying on it.
The honest commute story
Road access is the strength of this corridor; rail is the weak spot. A listing that says "near LRT" may mean a drive or ride-hail, not a sheltered walk. Test the actual route from your shortlisted building to the station you plan to use, at the hour you will actually commute.
| Destination | Practical access | Note |
|---|---|---|
| KLCC fringe via Jalan Ampang | Drive; expect peak-hour congestion | Roughly 20 to 30 minutes off-peak |
| Setiawangsa / Wangsa Maju | Drive via Jalan Jelatek and Jalan Genting Klang | Roughly 10 to 20 minutes depending on route and time |
| Ampang town | Drive along Jalan Ampang | Roughly 15 to 25 minutes off-peak |
| Nearest Ampang-line LRT station | Drive or ride-hail + park | Not a direct walk from most buildings in this pocket |
| KLIA / KLIA2 | Use Jalan Ampang → MRR2 → highway network | Plan for an hour-plus in normal traffic |
Always time the route during your real commute window. Jalan Ampang and Jalan Jelatek congestion can stretch a 20-minute drive to 40-plus minutes at the worst of peak hour.
Who it fits — and who should look elsewhere
Rumah sewa Datum Jelatek Keramat is a sensible shortlist for tenants whose daily routine runs through Jalan Jelatek, Jalan Ampang, Setiawangsa or central KL, and who are happy driving or ride-hailing. Look elsewhere if you need a walk-to-LRT daily commute, a much broader unit pool, or a quieter landed-style environment.
A good fit if you: - Drive or use ride-hailing, and want road access to Ampang and KLCC fringe. - Want shared condo facilities (pool, gym, security) without paying the highest-tier price. - Are flexible on furnishing — unfurnished units in this pocket can be priced below furnished comparables.
Worth pausing if you: - Need a station you can walk to in the rain — the LRT gap is the honest tradeoff here. - Want a much wider unit pool — broader Ampang has more buildings and price bands to compare. - Prefer landed-style quiet or a low-density residential feel — this is a high-rise corridor.
Nearby areas worth comparing
Before committing, compare Datum Jelatek with Jelatek, Keramat, Setiawangsa, Wangsa Maju and broader Ampang on rent band, building age, unit size and last-mile reality. Comparing at least two corridors protects you from overpaying for a narrow first choice.
| Area | Why it competes | The tradeoff vs Datum Jelatek |
|---|---|---|
| Ampang | Broadest supply pool, flexible building ages, varied price bands | More traffic on Jalan Ampang; less "specific corridor" feel |
| Wangsa Maju | LRT-led routines (Wangsa Maju / Sri Rampai stations), wider rental market | Further from Ampang side; different road network |
| Keramat | Local neighbourhood pricing, residential feel | Older mix; transit varies street by street |
| Setiawangsa | Quieter, near MRR2 and Taman Tasik | Smaller supply; some buildings command a premium |
Viewing and payment checklist
Inspect beyond the listing photos. Test water pressure, mobile signal, internet options, lift waiting time, parking entry, and noise at the hours you will actually be home. Verify the exact unit, parking bay and access-card count before paying anything.
- Confirm block, unit number, facing and floor; ask which side faces Jalan Ampang.
- Test water pressure in both bathrooms and the kitchen; flush both toilets.
- Check lift waiting time at peak and off-peak; older lifts can stack up at rush hours.
- Verify parking bay allocation and visitor parking rules with management.
- Photograph existing damage before handing over any money — scratches, stains, marks.
- Use the verified SPEEDHOME listing rather than unverified social-media listing channels.
Pay only to a company account, insist on a stamped tenancy agreement, and keep copies of everything. A stamped tenancy agreement is what the law recognises; an unstamped one is harder to enforce and affects your evidence if a dispute ever arises.
Renting with Zero Deposit
Some SPEEDHOME listings in the Datum Jelatek Keramat pocket support Zero Deposit — it replaces the upfront cash deposit so tenants move in without tying up cash, while landlords stay protected through rental protection. Eligibility is listing-specific; confirm on the exact listing before assuming you qualify.
Zero Deposit is SPEEDHOME's managed rental-risk system — not a financial guarantee product — that 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.
Filter the live rumah sewa Datum Jelatek Keramat listings by Zero Deposit to see which units currently show availability. Not every unit qualifies, and the landlord of a specific unit chooses whether to opt in — so the listing card is the only reliable signal.
FAQ
Is rumah sewa Datum Jelatek Keramat the same as renting in Keramat or Ampang?
It is a specific project inside the Jelatek-Keramat corridor, which sits between Keramat (the older residential pocket) and Ampang (the broader municipality to the east). Choosing "Datum Jelatek" usually means you want that specific building; choosing "Keramat" or "Ampang" widens the search to neighbouring projects. Both routes are worth a comparison if your priority is layout and price over a specific address.
How much rent should I budget for rumah sewa Datum Jelatek Keramat?
Public-record indicative bands sit roughly at RM1,200 to RM2,800 depending on layout, floor and furnishing. Studio and 1-bedroom units sit at the lower end; 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units climb higher, especially if they are fully furnished and on higher floors. Confirm the live asking rent on the SPEEDHOME listing before budgeting — the figure changes daily.
Is there an LRT within walking distance of Datum Jelatek?
No LRT station sits within a direct walk from the building. The Ampang-line stations in the wider Keramat area (including Dato Keramat) are reachable, but the last mile is realistically a drive or ride-hail rather than a sheltered walk. Verify the actual route from the specific building during your normal commute window before relying on rail.
What should I check before paying any deposit?
Verify the listing is on SPEEDHOME and the unit number matches the one you viewed. Pay only to a company account, insist on a stamped tenancy agreement, photograph existing damage before paying, and confirm the move-in date, parking bay and access-card count in writing. Unverified social-media listing channels are the most common source of rental scams in this corridor.
Can I rent here with Zero Deposit?
Some SPEEDHOME listings in this pocket support Zero Deposit, but eligibility is per-listing — not every unit qualifies. Filter by Zero Deposit on the live listing feed, then confirm on the exact unit card before assuming you qualify. Zero Deposit does not change your responsibilities as a tenant: rent on time, maintain the unit, and follow the tenancy agreement.
How does Datum Jelatek compare to Ampang proper for tenants?
Datum Jelatek is a single project; Ampang is a broad municipality with many buildings, ages and price bands. If your priority is a specific corridor address and modern facilities, Datum Jelatek is the cleaner fit. If you want the widest supply pool and more negotiation room on rent, broader Ampang gives you more options to compare. The commute story is similar for both — road access strong, rail last-mile weak.
