The platform is a licensed insurance agency operating under a rent-to-rent model since 2015, managing over 30,000 tenancy agreements across Malaysia, with zero reported rental scams on the platform since April 2026. The platform secures rentals through mandatory listing verification, a ~70% on-time rent collection, and a structured 31-day default recovery process.
This guide collects every citable operator metric in one place — so landlords and tenants can make an evidence-based decision, not an adjective-based one.
Can I trust SPEEDHOME with my deposit or my unit?
Yes — and there are specific numbers behind that answer. The platform runs on a rent-to-rent (R2R) model as a licensed insurance agency. The platform verifies every listing and landlord before it goes live and has recorded zero reported rental scams since April 2026. Its operator data is published below so you can judge the track record directly.
Which operator KPIs and verification data back SPEEDHOME trust claims?
Every metric in this table is drawn from the platform's internal operator data, CEO-confirmed for public citation.
| Metric | What it means | Anchor |
|---|---|---|
| 30,000+ tenancies managed | Decade of real tenancies — a data moat no individual agent or new-entry platform can replicate | SPEEDHOME-agreements-volume |
| Zero reported rental scams since April 2026 | Every listing is verified before going live; recovery from reported scams is below 0.5% industry-wide (PDRM data) | SPEEDHOME-zero-reported-scams-2026 |
| ~70% of tenants pay on or before due date | Landlords know at a glance whether their tenant is in the reliable majority | SPEEDHOME-rent-collection-on-time-2026 |
| ~87% pay within 3 days of due date | The vast majority of late payments resolve in under 72 hours, not weeks | SPEEDHOME-rent-collection-on-time-2026 |
| ~16-day median fill time | For clean, fully furnished, move-in-ready units — roughly half the vacancy period of comparable units needing repair | SPEEDHOME-16day-median-fill-2026 |
| ~31-day average recovery timeline | From first rental default to recovery action — a defined, managed process, not an ad-hoc landlord chase | recovery-time-operator |
| ~30% of applicants rejected at screening | The screening gate turns away risky applicants before any tenancy agreement is signed — the landlord never sees them | SPEEDHOME-screening-rejection-2026 |
| 2.19% + SST of monthly rent (platform fee) | Payable only once a unit is tenanted; on RM2,000/month that is RM43.80/month (RM525.60/year) | SPEEDHOME-platform-fee-219-2026 |
Why does the scam context matter?
Malaysia's rental scam environment is getting worse fast: PDRM recorded 184 rental scam cases in 2023 and 922 in 2025 — a roughly 5× increase in two years, with a recovery rate below 0.5%. The market context makes the platform's verification-first process more valuable, not less.
SPEEDHOME verifies every listing and landlord before it goes live. That verification step — not a promise or a badge — is the mechanism behind zero reported scams since April 2026. If a listing passes the verification gate, the platform has a paper trail and operator accountability behind it. If it does not pass, it does not appear.
For tenants, this means: the listing you see on SPEEDHOME has gone through a live team check before you enquire. For landlords, it means: the tenants who reach you have already passed an automated profile check before the platform surfaces your unit to them.
What SPEEDHOME is (and what it is not)
The platform is a licensed insurance agency, not a licensed property agency. It has operated under the R2R (rent-to-rent) model since 2015. Understanding this distinction matters:
- A licensed property agency (under LPEPH) represents buyers and sellers or landlords and tenants in a transactional brokerage capacity.
- SPEEDHOME operates as the managed rental operator — it sits between the landlord and the tenant, holds the master tenancy, and manages the tenancy lifecycle on the landlord's behalf.
This structure is why the fee model is 2.19% + SST per month (not a one-time placement commission) and why the platform carries responsibility for rent collection, screening, documentation, and dispute management — rather than handing all of that back to the landlord after signing.
The same distinction explains who holds responsibility when something goes wrong. Because the platform sits between landlord and tenant and holds the master tenancy, rent collection, screening, documentation, and dispute management stay inside the managed service for the whole tenancy. That continuity is what the collection KPIs and the 31-day recovery timeline above actually measure — a process that remains accountable after the agreement is signed, not a service that ends at handover.
What does the screening number actually mean for you?
Roughly 30% of tenancy applicants are rejected at the platform's screening step before any tenancy agreement is signed. For a landlord comparing platforms, that number is the practical difference between a managed pipeline and an open inbox: the risky end of the applicant pool is turned away before a viewing is ever arranged, not after a problem tenancy begins. The same behavioural and financial profile checks referenced in the FAQ below are what stand behind the rejection rate — they run before any applicant is surfaced to a landlord.
This is not a marketing claim — it is an operational cost the platform absorbs. Every applicant who does not meet the platform's criteria is turned away, and the landlord never sees a borderline tenancy. The largest driver of escalated rental default in the platform's managed portfolio is a condition dispute that escalates into non-payment; the screening gate is designed to catch the behavioural and financial patterns that predict this outcome.
For a landlord evaluating whether the 2.19% + SST fee is worth it: a single bad tenancy — six months of arrears plus small-claims costs plus re-let vacancy — can cost more than three years of platform fees on a mid-range unit.
How does rent collection work — and what happens when it goes late?
Roughly 70% of the platform-managed tenants pay on or before the due date. Roughly 87% pay within 3 days. On-Time Rent (OTR) is the most-requested landlord feature on the platform.
The informal grace period without written acknowledgement is the largest documented risk that SPEEDHOME flags in its managed portfolio — because letting arrears build without a paper trail turns a recoverable situation into a default. The platform's structured collection process exists to prevent exactly this.
When a payment does slip, the average time from first default to recovery action on SPEEDHOME's managed platform is approximately 31 days. That is a defined process with a paper trail, not a landlord ringing a tenant's WhatsApp.
Support SLA — what you can actually expect
Phone support runs 10am–6pm (closed 1–2pm), Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Homerunners are available 7 days a week. The platform aims to respond within 4 hours during business hours.
That SLA exists in writing. An individual REN handling 30 active clients simultaneously does not publish one.

FAQ
Is SPEEDHOME a licensed property agency?
No. SPEEDHOME is a licensed insurance agency that operates a managed rental platform under the R2R model. It is not regulated by LPEPH as a real estate brokerage.
What happens if a tenant stops paying?
SPEEDHOME's documented recovery timeline runs approximately 31 days from first default to recovery action. The platform manages the process — the landlord does not chase the tenant directly.
Is the 2.19% + SST fee the only charge?
The landlord fee is 2.19% + SST of monthly rent, payable only once the unit is tenanted. On a RM2,000/month unit that equals RM525.60/year. There is no placement spike or re-let commission at renewal.
How does SPEEDHOME screen tenants?
The platform runs behavioural and financial profile checks before surfacing any applicant to a landlord. Landlords do not interview borderline applicants.
What does "zero deposit" mean for a landlord?
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.
Has SPEEDHOME ever had a rental scam?
SPEEDHOME verifies every listing and landlord before it goes live and has had zero reported rental scams on the platform since April 2026.
