The verdict at Sentul Utama is whole-unit family let — on one of the tightest live markets this wave: six Mudah cards, all private advertisers, all between 19 hours and 15 days old, at RM1,500-1,600 for identical 877-1,030 sqft three-beds. The denominator is deep: Brickz live-reads 535 all-time transactions (RM391 psf / RM355,000 all-time median; RM373 psf / RM340,000 over the past year, 21 sales). Worked, transacted-basis and labelled, gross, before the 2.19% processing fee: RM1,500-1,600 x 12 = RM18,000-19,200 — 5.3-5.6% on the one-year median, 5.5-5.9% at EdgeProp's P25 (~RM374 psf on 877 sqft ≈ RM328,000); at the full RM435,000-460,000 asks it compresses to 3.9-4.4% — buy near transacted, not asked. Our own board holds zero dedicated cards: first-mover. One snippet conflict named: an older search band of "RM 1,250 - RM 1,400" is superseded by the live entity read. One identity conflict named: portals circulate freehold, the family record says leasehold — the title document settles it, and this page prices neither way.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card and put in your own numbers — the rent field loads RM1,600, the mode of the six fresh cards, and the purchase field loads RM340,000, the live one-year Brickz median: twenty-one dated sales behind it, not an asking queue. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
First-party first: the canonical page reads "Zero Deposit House for Rent in Sentul Utama Condominium Sentul" and zero flight objects name the building — a clean first-mover vacancy. The pool behind it is city-wide noise (Quill Residence on Sultan Ismail, Majestic Residence, M Astra in Setapak, Bennington in Ayer Panas) plus two corridor-locals: The Tamarind's rooms at RM850 and RM1,150, and PPAM Vista Harmoni at RM1,700 pet-friendly with 4 requests — placement noise recorded, never Sentul Utama evidence.
The rent book, all six cards verbatim from the live entity: "RM 1,500 per month ... 3 Bed 2 Bath 1,030 sq.ft ... 19 hours ago"; "RM 1,550 ... 877 sq.ft ... 2 days ago"; "RM 1,600 ... 1,030 sq.ft ... 3 days ago"; "RM 1,600 ... 877 sq.ft ... 4 days ago"; "RM 1,500 ... 1,030 sq.ft ... 5 days ago"; "RM 1,600 ... 1,030 sq.ft ... 15 days ago". Three of six sit at RM1,600 — the mode. An earlier search band, "3 bedroom units for rent from RM 1,250 – RM 1,400 per month", conflicts with the live read and is superseded — staler cards; the area-level "median rent in Sentul is RM 1,800" is context, not this building.
The denominator is deep and live. Brickz, captured on the immediate second read: "Median Price PSF (Past 1Y): RM373; Median Price (Past 1Y): RM340,000; Transactions (Past 1Y): 21; Median Price PSF (All): RM391; Median Price (All): RM355,000; Transactions (All): 535." Asks sit above the file: iProperty "Starting from RM 430K (1 listing)", PropertyGenie "RM435,000 – RM460,000", portals "roughly RM 410 – RM 496 psf", EdgeProp reference "RM 374–391 psf (25th–75th percentile)". Worked, transacted-basis, gross, before 2.19%: RM18,000-19,200 = 5.3-5.6% on RM340,000, 5.5-5.9% at the ~RM328,000 P25-plate floor; at full asks, 3.9-4.4%. The instruction is in the spread: buy near transacted. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
The alternatives, fenced. Rooms: no Sentul Utama room card exists on any channel — The Tamarind's RM850/RM1,150 rooms are a different building, and no split arithmetic is honest without a doorstep room rate. Short-stay: one measured building-named card — "Sentul Utama Condominium 4Bedroom+3 Bathroom — RM 1,880 for 5 nights", RM376 a night, implying roughly RM6,768 a month at 60% occupancy — an upside flag on the 4-bed plate, gated by the MC's written position, never the base model. Costs, the rare building with a triple echo: "Maintenance Fee : RM 175" on an 877 sqft sale card, "Maintenance fee: RM170/month" on an Instagram listing, "RM0.15 psf" at StarProperty — three sources disagree at the margin, a RM0.15-0.20 psf band; quit rent not published.
Why a 13-storey Sentul family block runs whole-unit
Sentul Utama is Melati Ehsan Group's 2009 scheme in Taman Dato Senu — 13 storeys across Blocks A, B and C, plates at 877 and 1,030 sqft, all three-bed two-bath, governance under DBKL, launched at around RM177,000 when new. Mature family stock with one identical product reads one way: the whole-unit family let is the model, and the six-card freshness says the market clears at RM1,500-1,600 today. The tenure conflict is the one heavy check here: portals circulate freehold, the family record says leasehold — the title document settles it before any exit math. The pet picture is unpublished; 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 reconcile the band. Three excerpt echoes put the fee at RM170-175 a month or RM0.15 psf — disagreeing at the margin; the MC schedule is the only number that counts. Done: the latest pack, in writing.
-
Read the real title document — heaviest check at this building. Freehold or leasehold is circulated both ways; the issue document settles it, and the leasehold case adds the remaining-term question to your exit math. 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, and the RM376-a-night upside stays locked without them. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — whatever the handbook says. Done: the current by-law text.
-
Price on the transacted file, not the asks. 535 all-time transactions exist; the asks run RM435,000-460,000 against a RM340,000 one-year median — the 3.9-4.4% ask-basis yield is the seller's number, not yours. Done: your comparables, dated and same-format.
-
Spend on condition, not on reconfiguring — RM20,000 lean and RM40,000 premium are SPEEDRENO planning assumptions, not quotes; identical 3-bed plates reward dependable fittings, not layout experiments. See the SPEEDRENO fit-out guide. Done: scope stays reversible.
FAQ
What yield does Sentul Utama give?
Worked, transacted-basis and labelled: RM1,500-1,600 x 12 = RM18,000-19,200 = 5.3-5.6% gross on the live one-year RM340,000 Brickz median, 5.5-5.9% at the EdgeProp P25 plate floor (~RM328,000), before the 2.19% processing fee. At full RM435,000-460,000 asks it compresses to 3.9-4.4% — buy near transacted, not asked.
Can you rent out rooms at Sentul Utama?
No in-building room card exists on any channel read — the room market here is unmeasured. The Tamarind's RM850/RM1,150 rooms are a different building. See the room rental and co-living guide.
Is short stay allowed at Sentul Utama?
One building-named Airbnb card exists — a 4-bed+3-bath at RM1,880 for five nights (RM376/night, roughly RM6,768 a month at 60% occupancy). That is an upside flag, not a permission: the MC's written by-law text is the only thing that unlocks it.
Are pets allowed at Sentul Utama?
The management's position is not published. Corridor context is offer-level — PPAM Vista Harmoni flies pet-friendly nearby — and 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 (tenure settled, remaining term known if leasehold), the current house rules plus the MC fee schedule, and transacted-file pricing — the one-year median to the negotiation, never the portal ask. The work is one clean 3-bed to a Sentul 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.
