You Residences @ You City (Cheras, Selangor) Rental Investment: Per-Building Verdict

The verdict at You Residences @ You City is the whole-unit family let on a measured three-card book — and this building carries a live transacted denominator, the thing most Cheras files lack. The book, dedicated Mudah entity, fully read: "RM 2,680 ... 880 sq.ft 3 bed 2 bath", "RM 2,700 ... 893 sq.ft 3 bed 2 bath ... Fully Furnished", "RM 3,000 ... 1,033 sq.ft 4 bed ... Fully Furnished" — three beds at RM2,680-2,700, the four-bed at RM3,000, and a 1,400 sqft four-bed excerpt at RM2,300 sitting below them: the psf gradient favours the bigger plates. The denominator, Brickz live-bound: nine transactions, median RM538,000, body percentiles RM500,000-550,000 governing over a defective meta range. Worked, transacted-basis, gross, before the 2.19% processing fee: RM2,680-3,000 x 12 = RM32,160-36,000 on RM538,000 = 6.0-6.7%, and 6.4-7.2% on the RM500,000 body-P25 — the yield standout of this cohort. The room split loses on arithmetic: corridor rooms at RM300-750, tripled, never reach the whole-unit floor. Short-stay: zero building-named operators.

Three ways to run your unit

Pick a model card and put in your own numbers. The rent field loads RM2,680 — the measured 3-bed floor card of the three-card book — and the purchase field loads RM538,000, the Brickz transacted median this page live-binds. Everything is editable; the answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?

First-party first, and the honest shape: SPEEDHOME holds zero dedicated cards at You City — the area page runs the template title "Properties for Rent in You City" over a 23-card mixed corridor pool. The corridor demand is real and it is next door: Cheras Ria, a three-bed at RM750 pet-friendly, carries 94 lifetime chat requests and 8 viewings since July 2026; Amaya Maluri, a two-bed at RM1,900 pet-friendly, carries 141 requests and 38 viewings since April 2026. Those are other buildings' cards — they price the corridor, not this tower.

The rent book, three cards verbatim. Dedicated Mudah entity, full read: "You City lll Cheras Fully Furnished For Rent RM 2,700 ... 893 sq.ft 3 bed 2 bath Service Residence 1w"; "The Best YouCity For Rent RM 2,680 ... 880 sq.ft 3 bed 2 bath ... 1w"; "4 Bedrooms,You City lll Cheras Fully Furnished For Rent RM 3,000 ... 1,033 sq.ft 4 bed ... 26/09". A search excerpt adds the curve's far end: "RM 2,300 per month ... 4 Bedroom, 1400 sq.ft", posted 18 Aug — the bigger plate asking below the smaller ones, which is why the whole-unit family let, not a per-room arithmetic, is this building's shape. PropertyGuru's project page counts "For Sale (72) · For Rent (24)" with "Rental price starting from. RM 1,100" — a studio-class floor at excerpt grade; the 24-versus-3 live discrepancy is unexplained and the 24 is never cited here as this tower's supply.

The sale side, live-bound. Brickz carries the project under service-residence transactions: meta reads "9 sold ... Median price RM538,000 (410 psf), Price range RM310,000 (P25) - RM690,000 (P75). Dated 10/11/2023 - 11/09/2024", and the rendered body panels read "25th Price 500,000 | Median Price 538,000 | 75th Price 550,000" with "25th Psf 393 | Median Psf 410 | 75th Psf 446" — the meta-versus-body conflict is recorded verbatim and the body governs. Four body rows, verbatim: "07/05/2024 RM310,000 RM576/ft2 3 rooms 538 ft2"; "21/12/2023 RM426,000 RM333/ft2 1,281 ft2"; "22/11/2023 RM525,000 RM410/ft2 1,281 ft2"; "10/11/2023 RM500,000 RM415/ft2 1,206 ft2". Worked on the median: RM2,680-3,000 x 12 = RM32,160-36,000 on RM538,000 = 6.0-6.7% gross; on the body-P25 RM500,000, 6.4-7.2%. Before 2.19%. The sibling fence: You Vista @ You City is a different block — its "10 sold ... Median price RM472,500 (RM483 psf)" row is context, never merged. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.

The rest of the sweep, honestly null. Rooms: not measured at the building — the corridor's rooms at RM300, RM400 and RM750 sit far below the RM2,680 whole-unit floor even tripled, so the split loses without needing a measured in-building room rate. Short-stay: the Airbnb grid for the name returns generic Cheras corridor stock — "(NEW) Majestic Maxim Cheras 3r2b", "Arte Cheras | Spacious Family Stay for 6" — and nothing names You City; nightly potential is unmeasured and not printed. Maintenance and quit rent: not published on any surface probed.

Why a Batu 9 commercial-title plate runs the family let

You Residences @ You City is PJD Regency's (now OSK Property) freehold service-residence pair in Taman Suntex, Batu 9 Cheras — two blocks, 370 units, 533-1,453 sqft from studio to 3+1-bed, completed 2015 per the PropertyGuru building profile, under MPKj. The title context is the working constraint: commercial title under HDA, so the per-unit category decides tariffs, assessment and lawful-use questions, and the MC's written position gates everything exotic. The demand context is the working asset: the Cheras corridor into Kuala Lumpur runs through here, and the measured book clears at family-plate prices with full furnishing. 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, and the by-law variance is one line in the same letter.

5 checks before you commit

  1. Read the real title document — freehold, commercial title under HDA: the per-unit category decides the tariff class and the lawful residential-use position. Done: you hold the individual issue document of title.

  2. Get the MC's written stance — short-stay and multi-tenancy in one request; the by-law text, not a verbal yes. Done: the clauses, in writing, with the COB filing date.

  3. Get the current maintenance and sinking-fund statements — nothing is published on any surface probed; the JMB schedule is the only number that counts. Done: the latest pack, in writing.

  4. Underwrite on the transacted median, not the township mood — RM538,000 with nine transactions behind it beats any asking extrapolation; the 72-for-sale versus 24-for-rent counts are portal arithmetic, not this tower's file. Done: your own dated basis.

  5. Keep the fit-out family-grade and reversible — the measured book is fully-furnished family stock; the premium scenario is furnishing, not partitioning. Done: scope stays reversible. See the SPEEDRENO fit-out guide.

FAQ

What yield does You Residences @ You City give?

Worked, transacted-basis, labelled: RM2,680-3,000 x 12 = RM32,160-36,000 on the Brickz live-bound median RM538,000 = 6.0-6.7% gross; on the body-P25 RM500,000, 6.4-7.2%. Nine transactions is a thin denominator — bring your own dated sale.

Can you rent out rooms at You Residences?

Not measured at the building, and the arithmetic does not miss it: corridor rooms at RM300-750 tripled stay below the RM2,680 whole-unit floor. The 1,200-1,400 sqft plates are family-let stock. See the room rental and co-living guide.

Is short stay allowed at You Residences?

No building-named short-stay operator exists in the sweep, so there is no proven nightly rate to underwrite — and the commercial-title-under-HDA context plus the MC's written stance gate the model before it starts.

Are pets allowed at You Residences?

The management's position is not published. Corridor context is offer-level — Cheras Ria and Amaya Maluri cards run pet-friendly — 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 three documents plus one discipline: the title copy (the per-unit category settled), the MC's written stance (the gated models settled), the fee schedule — and family-grade furnishing, because every card in the measured book is fully furnished.
