SHAH ALAM, July 10 — Approximately 3,000 units under the Smart Rental Scheme are targeted by next year, aimed at helping low-income individuals to own homes through a maximum rental period of five years.
State executive councillor for housing and culture Datuk Borhan Aman Shah said 2,221 units have been rented out to date, and the state government will continue to improve the existing system to ensure that only truly eligible individuals benefit from the scheme.
“As of now, 2,221 units have been rented out, with the highest number being in the Klang district at 407 units. By next year, 3,000 units will be rented out.
“The Smart Sewa Scheme is part of the Rumah Selangorku (RSKU) project, which is not built by the state government but involves purchasing RSKU units from developers.
“This is a requirement imposed on developers who have applied to the state government for changes in the conditions for providing affordable housing,” he said during the wind-up session of the motion relating to the Smart Sewa Scheme at the Selangor State Legislative Assembly session today.
The Smart Sewa Scheme offers an opportunity for low- and middle-income groups to own their own homes, with a maximum rental duration of five years.
A total of 30 per cent of the net rental paid will be returned to tenants once they no longer reside in the unit.
By 2025, the state government aims to build 60,000 residential units under the Rumah Selangorku 3.0 Housing Policy.
