The Lumayan, Cheras: Rental Investment

The verdict at The Lumayan is whole-unit, refreshed — a hospital-commuter product on a seven-card market where condition is the whole game. The measured band runs RM1,300 to RM1,650 across seven live Mudah cards, and the furnish gradient IS the story: RM1,300 for a renovated-furnished 830 sqft 3-bed, RM1,400 facing the pool, RM1,650 on the exact documented plate listed one day ago — a RM350-a-month spread, RM4,200 a year, earned on a refresh budget you control. No transacted file exists: Brickz 404s on both shapes and the area file is landed-street class — so the sale basis is ask-card grade, a live RM290,000 (830 sqft, leasehold, August 2026) card in a portal range of RM290,000-380,000. Derived, ask-card-basis and labelled, gross, before the 2.19% processing fee: RM1,300-1,650 x 12 = RM15,600-19,800 on RM290,000-380,000 = 4.1-6.8% — wide, because refresh decides where in it you land. Our own board: zero dedicated, in a corridor heavy with demand. Rooms: none measured. Short stay: zero building-named.

Three ways to run your unit

Pick a model card and put in your own numbers — the rent field loads RM1,500, the mode of the seven cards, and the purchase field stays yours to fill: the RM290,000 card is an ask, not a transaction, and with Brickz absent there is no denominator to load. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?

First-party first, a measured zero: the page title reads "Zero Deposit Houses for Rent in The Lumayan Cheras · 25 nearby" and not one of the 25 pool cards names Lumayan. The corridor around it is one of the heaviest in the fleet — M Vertica at RM2,500 with 167 lifetime requests plus its RM850 room at 109, Residensi Tasikmas at RM1,500 with 180, The Leafz at RM1,800 with 149, Kenwingston Avenue RM2,500 at 94, D'Nuri RM2,000 at 91 — demand at Sri Permaisuri is measured and converting, just not yet in this building.

The rent book, all seven cards verbatim. Dedicated entity, full read: "The Lumayan Apartment · RM 1,300 · Monthly · 830 sq.ft. · 3 Bed 2 Bath · Renovated Furnish"; "RM 1,400 · 830 sq.ft. · Facing Pool"; "RM 1,500 · 890 sq.ft. · Sri Permaisuri Tasik HUKM"; "RM 1,600 · 850 sq.ft."; "RM 1,500 · 850 sq.ft. · With Balcony". Area feed adds: "RM 1,650 · 830 sq.ft. · 3 Bed 2 Bath · 1 day ago · Nurul Izza" — the exact documented plate at the band top — and "RM 1,500 · 1,015 sq.ft. · Full Furnish, Renovated", whose plate render conflicts with the family's single 830 sqft layout (render variance recorded, family record governs). An excerpt band, "Rentals start from RM1,500-1,750/month", corroborates the top half.

The sale side, honestly thin: Brickz has no project page on either URL shape, and the Bandar Sri Permaisuri area file is landed-street class — "JALAN DANAU LUMAYAN 1" parcels — never the apartment's non-landed file; the re-sweep flag is named. What exists: a live for-sale card at RM290,000 for the exact 830 sqft plate (August 2026) and a portal range of RM290,000-380,000. Worked, ask-card-basis, gross, before 2.19%: RM15,600-19,800 = 4.1-6.8% on RM290,000-380,000. The width is the finding: the same plate trades RM350 apart on furnishing alone. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.

The alternatives, fenced. Rooms: all seven Lumayan cards are whole-unit 3B2B — no roommate class exists anywhere this sweep, and a single-layout 2008 scheme gates any sharing play on the MC's written position first. Short-stay: zero Lumayan-named units on the Airbnb entity; the district's short-stay belongs to Arte Cheras operators at RM713-1,047 per five nights with 5.0 ratings — other buildings, two MRT stops away. Costs: maintenance is single-source — "approximately RM148/month per unit" (about RM0.178 psf on 830 sqft), one excerpt, no corroboration; Astana Lumayan's RM0.20 psf is a sibling project, fenced; quit rent not published.

Why a single-layout 2008 lake-district block runs whole-unit

The Lumayan is Danau Lumayan Sdn Bhd's leasehold three-block scheme by the lake at Bandar Sri Permaisuri — November 2008 completion, one published layout (830 sqft 3B2B), launched from RM94,990, next to HUKM and the Salak Selatan LRT/KTM interchange per the family record, governance under DBKL. One product next to a hospital and a rail interchange reads one way: the whole-unit hospital-commuter let, and the furnish gradient says the reward goes to the owner who refreshes. No storey or unit count exists in the cited records — the strata register settles that. The pet picture is unpublished; corridor context is offer-level (Trinity Aquata and Maxim Majestic fly pet flags 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 — 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

1. Get the current maintenance and sinking-fund statements — the RM148 line is one source. A single excerpt carries it; 2008 blocks carry real repair history, and the MC schedule is the only number that counts. Done: the latest pack, in writing.

2. Read the real title document — leasehold parcel; it carries the remaining term (unstated in the public databases) and settles the unit-count question the cited records leave open. Done: you hold the copy and the expiry.

3. Read the house rules as they stand today — multi-tenancy, pets and short-stay clauses gate every model above whole-unit, and any sharing play at a single-layout scheme needs the MC gate first. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — whatever the handbook says. Done: the current by-law text.

4. Price on the gradient, not the midpoint. Seven cards exist; the RM350 spread between renovated-furnished and standard is the lever you control — check what RM20,000-40,000 of reversible refresh buys before quoting a rent. Done: your comparables, dated and same-condition.

5. Spend on condition, not on reconfiguring — RM20,000 lean and RM40,000 premium are SPEEDRENO planning assumptions, not quotes; the gradient is the business case. See the SPEEDRENO fit-out guide. Done: scope stays reversible.

FAQ

What yield does The Lumayan give?

Worked, ask-card-basis and labelled: RM1,300-1,650 x 12 = RM15,600-19,800 on the RM290,000-380,000 ask range = 4.1-6.8% gross, before the 2.19% processing fee. The range is wide because furnishing decides it — a RM350/month spread on the same plate. No transacted file exists; Brickz is absent on both URL shapes.

Can you rent out rooms at The Lumayan?

No in-building room card exists — all seven cards are whole-unit 3B2B, no roommate class anywhere this sweep. A single-layout scheme gates any sharing play on the MC's written position first. See the room rental and co-living guide.

Is short stay allowed at The Lumayan?

Zero Lumayan-named units exist on the Airbnb entity — the district's short-stay market belongs to Arte Cheras operators at RM713-1,047 per five nights, other buildings. The MC's written by-law text is the only permission that counts; treat transient income as zero until it arrives.

Are pets allowed at The Lumayan?

The management's position is not published. Corridor context is offer-level — Trinity Aquata and Maxim Majestic fly pet flags 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.
