This article is general information, not financial or legal advice. Eligibility criteria, pricing, and application steps can change. Confirm current terms directly with Lembaga Perumahan dan Hartanah Selangor (LPHS) before applying.
LPHS Selangor’s published guidance indicates that Rumah Selangorku generally works by requiring developers to build affordable units within qualifying private projects, allocating them to eligible middle-to-low income Selangor residents based on a tiered pricing and income system. Units are split into five types, A through E, each with its own income ceiling and price.
What Is Rumah Selangorku (RSKU)?
RSKU is a Selangor state housing scheme administered by LPHS. It applies only within Selangor. It does not apply to other states, and it is a separate scheme from RUMAWIP, PR1MA, or federal-level affordable housing programs.
LPHS does not build units directly. It sets pricing and eligibility rules, and requires developers of qualifying private projects to allocate a portion of units to the scheme, based on LPHS’s published guidance. Units under this scheme are generally understood to fall under Housing Development Act (HDA) protection, in line with standard private residential purchases, though this should be confirmed against the specific Sale and Purchase Agreement for any given project.
There are two separate application routes under the same name. Rumah Selangorku (LPHS) uses a merit-based ranking system through LPHS’s own registration system, open only to applicants and spouses who do not already own property. Rumah Selangorku (Pendaftaran Pemaju) is developer-registered, and allows an applicant who already owns one property to apply for a second unit under that specific route. These two routes have different applicant pools and different name-list processes, though the exact structure can vary by project, so applicants should confirm which route a specific project falls under before applying.
Unit Types and Price Tiers
Pricing and income eligibility are tied directly to unit type. LPHS’s current published figures are as follows:
A
RM3,500/month
RM42,000
RM42,000
B
RM7,000/month
RM100,000
RM100,000
C
RM10,000/month
RM150,000
RM200,000
D
RM14,500/month
RM200,000
RM250,000
E / E Khas
RM14,500/month
RM250,000
RM250,000
Household income refers to the combined income of the applicant and spouse. Applicants select one unit type per application. Prices are subject to change with State Government approval, so treat the figures above as the currently published tiers rather than fixed indefinitely. Figures above are drawn from LPHS’s published eHartanah FAQ; applicants should verify current figures directly on the portal before applying, since these tiers can be revised.

Who Is Eligible to Apply?
Baseline conditions confirmed by LPHS:
- Citizenship and age. Applicant and spouse must be Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above.
- No existing property in Selangor. Applicant and spouse must not already own a residential property in Selangor, whether from a government or private project. This condition applies specifically to the LPHS merit-based route.
- Household income within the chosen unit type’s ceiling. See the table above.
- One unit type per application. Applicants select only one of A, B, C, D, or E.
- Owner-occupier requirement. The unit must be occupied by the owner. Renting it out breaches the terms of purchase.
Meeting these conditions places an application into consideration. It does not guarantee an offer, since selection is merit-based and depends on unit stock and demand in the chosen project.
How to Apply
Applications are made online through LPHS’s official portal at ehartanah.lphs.gov.my, with no application fee for the application itself. There is no paper form for the initial submission, though follow-up steps, such as document verification with a developer, bank, or legal party, may still involve offline correspondence.
- Register an account on the official portal.
- Select a registration category. Rumah Selangorku is one of three categories on the system, alongside Kedai/Industri Mampu Milik and Kediaman Komersial. Selecting the wrong category means the application will not appear against the correct project list.
- Choose one unit type (A, B, C, D, or E) based on household income.
- Select a project from the current list of available Rumah Selangorku developments.
- Upload supporting documents, including identification, income statements, and marital status documents where applicable.
- Track application status by logging back into the portal. Applications sit as Draf until fully submitted, then move through Senarai Menunggu (waiting list), Tawaran Bersyarat (conditional offer), and Terima Tawaran (offer accepted) stages.
LPHS’s official channel is the only route for this scheme. LPHS has stated it does not appoint third parties as agents for RSKU applications. Apply only through the official eHartanah LPHS portal and avoid paying third parties who claim they can speed up or guarantee approval.

Wallet Impact: Comparing Two Applicant Profiles
Applicant A has a combined household income of RM6,500 and qualifies for Type B. Applicant B has a combined household income of RM13,000 and qualifies for Type D or E.
Income ceiling
RM7,000
RM14,500
Unit price (high-rise)
RM100,000
RM200,000–RM250,000
Illustrative 10% down payment
RM10,000
RM20,000–RM25,000
Illustrative loan at 90% margin
RM90,000
RM180,000–RM225,000
Applicant A’s lower income ceiling limits unit choice to Type A or B, but the lower price also means a smaller loan and smaller down payment. Applicant B has access to a wider range of unit types, up to the RM14,500 ceiling, and a larger unit at a correspondingly higher price. Neither profile is better in absolute terms. The unit type simply matches the income band it was designed for.
Actual loan amount, down payment, and monthly instalment depend on the bank’s own assessment, including DSR. Applicants should check loan eligibility before selecting a project.
Risks and Limits
Selection is merit-based, not first-come-first-served. Meeting income and citizenship conditions does not guarantee an offer. Unit stock, project demand, and applicant ranking all affect outcomes.
Rejecting or not responding to an offer may affect future applications. In some cases, rejecting or failing to respond to an offer may affect the applicant’s status or future application timeline. Applicants should check the current LPHS terms before declining an offer.
The 5-year transfer restriction is state-authority-controlled, not automatic. Transfer or sale is generally restricted within the applicable five-year period and requires approval from the Selangor State Authority. Applicants should confirm whether the period is calculated from the SPA date, the transfer registration date, or another date stated in the title or approval conditions, since published sources are not fully consistent on this point.
Owning property outside Selangor is treated differently from owning property inside Selangor. The no-existing-property condition applies specifically to property within Selangor under most published guidance, though applicants in the conditional-offer stage may still need to submit documentation regarding property owned elsewhere, so this should be confirmed directly with LPHS rather than assumed.
The Bottom Line
Rumah Selangorku ties unit price directly to income tier, with Type A starting at RM42,000 for households earning up to RM3,500, up to Type E at RM250,000 for households earning up to RM14,500. Applications run only through LPHS’s official portal, at no cost, and selection is merit-based rather than guaranteed. Applicants should confirm their income tier, check the current project list, and apply directly through ehartanah.lphs.gov.my rather than through any third party.

FAQs
1. Is Rumah Selangorku open to applicants outside Selangor?
The scheme applies to projects in Selangor. Applicants should check the current LPHS criteria and project-specific conditions to confirm whether residency, employment location or other state-related requirements apply.
2. Can I choose more than one unit type?
No. Each application selects one unit type only, either A, B, C, D, or E, based on household income.
3. What happens if I already own property outside Selangor?
Ownership outside Selangor does not automatically disqualify an application under the LPHS merit-based route, but applicants reaching the conditional-offer stage may need to submit proof of property owned elsewhere for LPHS’s review.
4. Can I sell or transfer the unit immediately after purchase?
No. Transfer or sale generally requires written approval from the Selangor State Authority within the applicable five-year restriction period. Applicants should confirm with LPHS whether this period runs from the SPA date, the transfer registration date, or another date stated in their specific approval conditions.
5. Does LPHS use third-party agents to process applications?
LPHS has stated it does not appoint third parties as agents for this scheme. Applications should be submitted directly through ehartanah.lphs.gov.my.
