What is Southbank Residence and should you rent there?
Southbank Residence is a freehold serviced-apartment development along Old Klang Road / Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur, developed by Eureka Equity Sdn Bhd, with Block A and Block B units around 779-978 sq ft. It suits tenants anchored to the Old Klang Road corridor who want city-fringe road access. Verify the unit — block, furnishing, parking and the specific listing — before signing.
Southbank's Phase 1 serviced-apartment layout spans Block A and Block B, with built-ups roughly 779-978 sq ft. The address sits on the Old Klang Road / Jalan Klang Lama corridor — strong road access into KL city, but treat any specific rail-station distance with caution until you've checked it yourself; don't assume walkability from a listing description.
SPEEDHOME platform records (Q1 2026) on Old Klang Road listings show a wide spread across rent bands even within one building; the building name alone doesn't lock the price. Furnishing, block (A vs B), floor level, parking allocation, and what the landlord includes in utilities all shift the live listing by hundreds of ringgit at the same address. Check the specific unit before viewing or committing.
As of 2026, monthly rent on SPEEDHOME's active Old Klang Road listings varies widely by layout and block — check the live listing rather than relying on a building-level figure.
Tenancy law is the same as anywhere in Greater KL: the agreement and general contract law (Contracts Act 1950), with stamp duty and adjudication routes through MyTax. As of 2026 the proposed Residential Tenancy Act is still a draft Bill, not yet tabled in Parliament, so rights and obligations come from the tenancy agreement and the courts — there is no dedicated residential tenancy tribunal.
What to check before signing at Southbank Residence
Verify the exact unit and block (A or B), not just the building name. Furnishing level, parking allocation, internet provider and the access-card process differ unit by unit — confirm each at viewing, not from the listing description alone.
A good viewing at any Southbank Residence unit covers:
- Air-conditioning — switch on every unit, confirm it cools, and ask for the most recent service record
- Water pressure — test all bathrooms and the kitchen tap at the same time
- Appliances and furniture — check every item on the furnished list against what is physically in the unit
- Parking — confirm the exact bay number, whether it is covered, and visitor-parking rules
- Access cards — how many are included, replacement cost, and whether the JMB requires owner registration before move-in
- Mobile and internet signal — check inside the bedrooms and at the parking level
- Handover photos — take dated photos of every wall, fitting and appliance before signing the tenancy agreement
Pay rent only to a company account or the named owner on the title — never to a third party based on a listing alone.

Renting at Southbank Residence with Zero Deposit
Selected Southbank Residence listings on SPEEDHOME offer Zero Deposit — no upfront cash deposit required at move-in. Not every unit qualifies; confirm on the live listing before expecting it.
Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system, not a financial guarantee product. It replaces the upfront cash deposit; in the rare case of severe end-of-tenancy damage the recoverable amount can be limited. SPEEDHOME-managed tenancies on Zero Deposit show a roughly 70% on-time rental rate (Q1 2026 platform records) — the deposit method does not change what the tenant owes, only when the cash is paid.

Who is Southbank Residence for?
Southbank Residence fits tenants who want a city-fringe Old Klang Road address with strong road access into KL and don't need a confirmed walk-to-rail commute. It is the wrong fit for tenants who need a verified short walk to a train station — confirm transit access yourself rather than relying on the listing.
A quick fit check:
- Good fit — tenants who drive or are comfortable with ride-hailing/bus access into central KL via Old Klang Road
- Workable — couples or small families wanting Block A or Block B units around 779-978 sq ft on the KL city fringe
- Avoid — tenants who need a confirmed short walk to rail without checking first; tenants who cannot verify the unit-specific listing and block before signing
FAQ
How much is rent at Southbank Residence right now?
The live Old Klang Road listing on SPEEDHOME is the current price, not a building-level figure. Block (A or B), furnishing, floor, parking bays and what the landlord includes in utilities shift the figure by hundreds of ringgit at the same address. Check the unit-specific listing before viewing or committing.
Is Southbank Residence walkable to a station?
Treat this with caution — Southbank is a road-corridor address on Old Klang Road / Jalan Klang Lama, and public sources don't reliably confirm a short walking distance to any KTM or rail station. Test the actual commute from the specific block on a weekday before relying on a listing's "near station" claim.
Is Southbank Residence a good fit for families with school-age children?
Workable if the daily school run is reachable by car. For households that need a walk-to-school daily routine, a different Old Klang Road or city-fringe address may suit better. See the Who is Southbank Residence for? section for the fit checklist.
What should a landlord at Southbank Residence do if the tenant stops paying?
The lawful route is the same as anywhere in Malaysia: serve a written cure notice, terminate under the tenancy agreement clause if unpaid, and proceed through the civil courts. SPEEDHOME-managed tenancies follow the platform's default-management process (cure notice, then mediation) before any court step; for non-SPEEDHOME tenancies the landlord runs the same notice-then-court path directly. Locking the tenant out or disconnecting water or electricity is unlawful under section 7(2) of the Specific Relief Act 1950, regardless of what the tenancy agreement says.
How does Southbank Residence compare with other Old Klang Road condominiums?
The honest answer is that the comparison depends on block, layout, furnishing and what the landlord includes — not the building name. Browse the live Old Klang Road rentals on SPEEDHOME for the unit-by-unit shortlist.
