If you have decided to stay in Malaysia, it’s time to start looking for the ideal property to make your life comfortable.
Our company manages a large number of properties, including the highly popular condominiums "Molek Pine 3" and "Molek Pine 4," which are particularly favored by the Japanese community. We are the only Japanese company managing rentals and subsales for these two condominiums, earning the trust of both Japanese owners and locals in the Johor Bahru area.
One of our biggest strengths is our deep knowledge of property development in various areas of Johor Bahru. We can provide you with detailed insights into how different areas might develop over time.
We are here to help you choose the perfect rental property that meets your needs and to support you every step of the way until you move in. And if you’re looking for a rental property outside of the Johor Bahru area, please feel free to contact us.
When renting a property in Malaysia / Johor Bahru, you’ll encounter a rental system that differs somewhat from what you may be used to in other countries.
In Malaysia, there is a deposit system commonly referred to as the "Security Deposit." This deposit typically amounts to about two months’ rent, which is the standard market rate.
Another deposit you will need to pay upon arrival is the "Utility Deposit."
In Malaysia, the electricity, gas, and water supply contracts are already under the landlord's name. Since the contracts remain in the landlord's name, a "Utility Deposit" is required to cover any potential unpaid utility bills in case the tenant defaults.
This system allows you to use electricity, gas, and water immediately upon moving in. Additionally, most rental properties in Malaysia come fully furnished, so you won’t need to make many preparations before moving in, allowing you to settle in smoothly.
When you move out, both the "Security Deposit" and the "Utility Deposit" will be refunded to you. However, the refund will be subject to an inspection of the property. Any necessary repair costs or outstanding utility bills will be deducted from the deposits.
The owner (landlord) is responsible for paying the fire insurance. Therefore, unless you need additional coverage for household items, you do not need to subscribe to any separate fire insurance.
It is common to pay rent via cheque or bank transfer to the management company.
It is possible to use the property as a small office or SOHO (Small Office/Home Office). However, making excessive noise or receiving large numbers of visitors is prohibited.
The rental fee will be recognized as a business rental, so please contact us if you have any questions.
While some condominiums in Kuala Lumpur are "pet-friendly," keeping pets in most condos is generally prohibited.
Although some tenants may keep pets in condos, they may be required to move out if discovered. If you wish to keep a pet, it is advisable to consider living in terrace houses or landed properties.
If you’re unable to visit the property in person, you can explore it through our "Virtual Reality" feature, which offers a 360-degree view of the room. This tool has received positive feedback from our clients, allowing you to get a real feel for the room’s atmosphere. We encourage you to take a look.

Johor is the fifth-largest state out of Malaysia’s 13 states, covering an area of approximately 2 million square kilometers. The state capital, Johor Bahru, is located in the southern part of the state, near Singapore. The condominiums we manage are situated in this area, which also includes several international schools. Below is an overview of the most livable areas in Johor Bahru.
The condominiums we manage in Taman Molek, known as Molek Pine 3 and Molek Pine 4, are home to a diverse range of tenants, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean residents. In Johor Bahru, this area is particularly popular among the Japanese community.
Taman Molek is highly convenient, located just a 20-minute drive from Johor Bahru town. Nearby, you’ll find shopping malls like AEON and IKEA, golf courses, and most schools offer school bus services to this area. The area is well-balanced with a variety of restaurants, financial institutions, and businesses, including several Japanese shops, giving it a good impression for both locals and expats.
Molek Pine 3 and Molek Pine 4 are especially attractive to foreigners due to the unique artificial hot spring facilities available only in these condominiums in Johor Bahru, making it a comfortable place to live.
Our office is located in the Molek area, and the convenience of this location means you can easily live here even without a car.
This area is strategically located between the town center and the Pasir Gudang area, which is home to many factories and the large Johor Port. It's only a 15-minute drive from the town center, and there is an AEON shopping mall nearby.
However, having a car is essential for living here. If you work in Pasir Gudang or plan to send your child to Invictus International School Spring Hills, this area offers great convenience. Due to its favorable location, commuting to work and school during rush hour can be congested. While the main streets are busy with traffic, the residential areas remain quiet and peaceful, offering a comfortable living environment.

Johor Bahru Town is the gateway to Malaysia for those coming from Singapore, as it is located near the Causeway link. The JB Sentral, which houses the immigration checkpoint, is directly connected to the large City Square shopping complex and several office buildings.
As soon as you step outside the immigration area, you'll be greeted by the impressive City Square, offering a wide variety of shops and services.
The area is a vibrant, multi-ethnic town where Malay, Chinese, and Indian shops line the streets, reflecting the rich cultural diversity of the region.
At night, the open-air night markets bring the city to life, showing that Johor Bahru is bustling both day and night. The town is also home to historic buildings such as temples and mosques, adding a touch of heritage to the modern cityscape.
For those interested in visiting Indonesia, a nearby ferry terminal provides convenient access. The terminal also has a duty-free area where you can purchase alcohol and tobacco at lower prices. While Johor Bahru Town offers many conveniences, it’s important to stay mindful of safety and security.
This area is ideal for those who value convenience and proximity to Singapore.

In recent years, Bukit Indah, located on the west side of Johor Bahru, has become increasingly popular among local Malaysians. This area is about a 20-minute drive from the Johor Bahru city center, offering spacious streets and new shops.
Bukit Indah is home to many newly constructed condominiums and large shopping malls such as AEON, Lotus's, and Giant. It’s a popular residential area for people who commute to Singapore. Families with children attending Marlborough College or Raffles American School in the nearby Iskandar Puteri area also choose to live here. With attractions like Legoland and several golf courses nearby, this area is expected to see further development in the future.
Iskandar Puteri is part of the Malaysian government’s ambitious "Iskandar Project." Once a plantation area, the state government has transformed it with new government buildings, a yacht bay at Puteri Harbour, Marlborough College, and attractions like Legoland. With this project, the area is expected to continue growing. The government's commitment to the project is evident, as government offices have been relocated to this area.
Currently, many people are interested in the under-construction condominiums at the Waterfront in Puteri Harbour. This large-scale development has attracted global attention, and many expatriates, especially from Western countries, have chosen to live here. The area also offers convenient access to Singapore, with the second link bridge just a 25-minute drive away.
While the area still requires a car for easy transportation, and the number of restaurants and shopping facilities is currently limited, further development is anticipated in the near future.
We will guide you through the Malaysian business customs for each step.
Please contact us via this website for any rental inquiries.
Let us know your preferred move-in date, area, number of bathrooms, and whether you need a fully or partially furnished property. You can also specify additional requests, such as a bathtub, balcony, or proximity to schools for your children. We will carefully shortlist properties from our extensive listings to match your needs.
Once we have narrowed down the list of potential properties, we will arrange viewings for you. Photos alone may not fully capture the property’s atmosphere, so it's recommended to see the property in person to get a better sense of the space. This is also a good opportunity to check for any additional furniture or appliances you may require.
Once you have decided on the property, contract period, and rental terms, any additional requests—such as installing new equipment—can be negotiated with the landlord. If both parties agree, you will proceed to sign the tenancy agreement. Please note the following costs required at the contract stage:
Once you move in, the owner is generally responsible for any necessary repairs following the departure of the previous tenant. If you notice any defects within the first month of moving in, please contact us. After the first month, tenants are responsible for repair costs under RM250. For repairs exceeding RM250, the responsibility will be determined based on how the issue occurred.
To avoid any misunderstandings, we recommend taking photos of the property upon moving in. These photos can serve as evidence in case any disputes arise during the move-out process.
