Private Accommodation
Besides the IMU hostel accommodation, students have an option for other accommodation i.e. private accommodation. Students could either rent rooms from other IMU students or rent the whole apartment and share amongst their friends at the Vista Komanwel Condominiums. Rental can also be made from individual tenants or agents. The cost of rental currently offered by the landlords is approximately from RM300 - RM400 plus per room monthly and rental for an apartment is from RM1,000 onwards monthly depending on the landlord. The cost of rental is usually negotiable.
Vista Komanwel Condominiums are student’s choice for accommodation as it is just situated across the road from IMU. Vista A is located approximately 10 minutes walk away, Vista B is directly opposite our campus and Vista C is a 5 minute walk away. Alternatively, the Arena Green Apartments are situated approximately 15-20 minutes walk away. There are also other private homes (approximately 5-10 minutes drive away) located nearby at Taman Sri Petaling & Taman Bukit Jalil. The nearest township to IMU is Taman Sri Petaling where there are many facilities such as Carrefour supermarket, shops, banks, clinics, hotel, restaurants, post office, dentists, laundries and many others.
The Admission and Student Affairs Department offers assistance to new students by providing an overall list of private accommodation available upon request. This list is compiled from advertisements placed by students and tenants and it is being frequently updated. If you are interested in a private accommodation rental, you may contact the individuals/agents to make your own arrangements and negotiations personally. A book on private accommodation is also available at The Admission and Student Affairs Department for your reference.
Apart from the list of private accommodation available, if you require any updated information, please join our mailing list. The latest updates will be sent via email to all in our mailing list regularly, as and when there are new entries. Students in our mailing list will also be able to interact with each other for any accommodation arrangements e.g. to share an apartment, as the mailing list is sent as a group email. You can inform us via email if you wish to remove your name from our mailing list.
