What is The Square One City and should you rent there?
The Square @ One City is a freehold serviced residence in USJ 25, Subang Jaya, Selangor, developed by MCT Homes (now Avaland Bhd) and completed around 2016. It sits above a retail podium as part of the integrated One City development — a fit for tenants whose routine is anchored to the USJ/Subang Jaya corridor. Verify the unit — furnishing, parking, and the specific listing — before signing.
The building offers 324 SOFO units sized 506–742 sq ft, with a swimming pool, spa pool, gymnasium, café, BBQ area, children's playground and 24-hour security. SPEEDHOME platform records (Q1 2026) on USJ/Subang Jaya listings show a wide spread across the area's rent bands; the building name alone doesn't lock the price. Furnishing, 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.
USJ 21 LRT station (Kelana Jaya Line) is roughly 1.2–1.5 km away — not a short walk, but a feasible feeder-bus or e-hailing hop rather than a long drive. Plan your commute honestly before signing; the difference between an address you commute to once and one you commute to twice a day matters more than any unit feature.
As of 2026, monthly rent on SPEEDHOME's active USJ/Subang Jaya listings varies widely by layout — check the live listing rather than relying on a building-level figure.
Tenancy law is the same as anywhere in Selangor: 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 The Square One City
Verify the exact unit, 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 The Square One City 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 The Square One City with Zero Deposit
Selected The Square One City 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 The Square One City for?
The Square One City fits tenants whose routine is anchored to USJ/Subang Jaya and who can plan a feeder-bus or e-hailing connection to USJ 21 LRT. It is the wrong fit for tenants who need daily walk-to-rail transit.
A quick fit check:
- Good fit — tenants working or studying in Subang Jaya, Sunway or USJ who use a feeder bus or e-hailing to reach USJ 21 LRT
- Workable — couples or small families who want a USJ address with retail directly below and accept a car-first or feeder-first commute
- Avoid — daily walk-to-rail commuters; tenants who need the lowest possible rent with parking and utilities included; tenants who cannot verify the unit-specific listing before signing
FAQ
How much is rent at The Square One City right now?
The live Subang Jaya listing on SPEEDHOME is the current price, not a building-level figure. 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 The Square One City walkable to a station?
Not quite — USJ 21 LRT (Kelana Jaya Line) is roughly 1.2–1.5 km away, a feeder-bus or e-hailing trip rather than a walk. Test the commute from the actual block on a weekday before relying on the listing's "near station" line.
Is The Square One City a good fit for families with school-age children?
Workable if the daily school run is reachable by car or shuttle. For households that need a walk-to-school daily routine, a different USJ/Subang Jaya address may suit better. See the Who is The Square One City for? section for the fit checklist.
What should a landlord at The Square One City 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 The Square One City compare with other Subang Jaya condominiums?
The honest answer is that the comparison depends on layout, furnishing and what the landlord includes — not the building name. Browse the live Subang Jaya rentals on SPEEDHOME for the unit-by-unit shortlist.
