There is many reason for those who renting house. It can be due to disqualified to get bank loan, not afford to buy house even with rumawip or selangorku but still need to live in Klang valley for working purpose, rent for short terms (one or two years) accommodation due to project handling, students accommodation, rent to purchase plan and weekend house etc. Population is growing from time to time especially in Klang valley, everyone need accommodation. How many % of Malaysian can own a house? If not afford to rent a house they will go for rent a room. No choice..
