What Is Rumah Selangorku, And Am I Eligible?
Rumah Selangorku is a housing scheme based in Selangor. It was established with the aim of delivering affordable houses to qualifying citizens within the state.
Selangor is one of Malaysia’s most popular and populous states, making affordable housing a serious issue for many who want to call that state "home".
Those conditions make it particularly challenging for low-income and middle-income families to find appropriate housing.
Rumah Selangorku mandates that developers of qualifying developments construct a certain amount of affordable housing units as part of their overall project.
The initiative is led by Lembaga Perumahan dan Hartanah Selangor (LPHS), the state’s own housing organisation. It was first introduced in 2014, and is designed to encourage and support developers to produce affordable houses.
These properties will align with the organisation’s goal of building quality homes to meet the accommodation needs of local citizens in an affordable way.

Who Is Eligible For Rumah Selangorku?

Rumah Selangorku is a housing scheme designed to support the low-income and middle-income citizens of Selangor. That focus means that certain conditions must be met to be eligible for the scheme, which is as follows:

  • Malaysian citizen
  • Resident of Selangor
  • Must not already own a property
  • Maximum household income of RM10,000
  • One application per household
  • Single applicants with dependents may apply

What Properties Do Rumah Selangorku Apply To?

While first established in 2014, changes made from 2018 onwards under the new Rumah Selangorku 2.0 initiative set out a refreshed framework for affordable houses within the scheme.
Rumah Selangorku is a scheme which promotes a variety of unit types, depending on your preference and income levels.
It’s split into categories A, B, C, D, and E homes, with different eligibility criteria depending on an applicant’s household income:
  • Type A: Maximum RM3,000/month (household income)
  • Type B, C, D, E: Maximum RM3,001 – RM10,000/month (household income)
The changes for Rumah Selangorku 2.0 most directly impact the Category D homes, which is the highest-priced category within the scope of affordable houses created under Rumah Selangorku.

rumah_selangorku2
Unfortunately, no! You are assessed based on merit and then an offer is made. If you turn down that offer, you are placed as an inactive applicant for two years.

2) What if my spouse also earns an income?

The assessment is based on the household income, not individuals, and thus will take into account all earnings within the household.

3) Can we both apply at the same time?

Applicants are limited to one application per household.

4) Can I appeal a rejection of my application?

No, all decisions are final.

5) Can I sell my house after 5 years?

Yes, but you will need approval from the State Government.

That’s all folks, for the Rumah Selangorku scheme! Good luck if you’re planning to apply. And if you’re looking for more insight on affordable houses, this guide on housing support and affordable homes for the B40 income group might just be the perfect read for you.
