Smart Sublet solution

One PIN per room. Move-outs handled remotely.

Every tenant opens only their own room and the main door. Vacate a room at midnight from your phone, new PIN ready by morning.

For room rental operators, house owners renting by room.

The market

With KL rents averaging RM2,863, more tenants rent by the room. Room-by-room letting multiplies keys, move-outs and disputes. Per-room digital access is what makes a sublet portfolio manageable without living on site.

The problem

What it costs you today

Access

  • Shared front door key means any tenant lets in strangers undetected
  • No per-room access isolation — tenants can enter each other’s spaces
  • Move-out revocation requires physical lock change — cost repeats every turnover

Experience

  • Tenants locked out call the landlord at any hour — entirely manual
  • New tenant move-in requires landlord physical presence for key handover
  • No data to resolve disputes about shared utility usage

Operations

  • No centralised visibility across 3–4 rooms in multiple properties
  • Proving damage caused by a specific tenant requires circumstantial evidence only
  • Lock changes or key recuts happen multiple times per year per property

Energy

  • Common area lights and fans blamed on everyone — managed by no one
  • No smart switch — each tenant controls usage with no shared accountability
  • Aircon in common or included units runs regardless of actual occupancy

Security

  • Inter-tenant theft is chronic — no forensic access trail to investigate
  • Front door security relies on a key any tenant may have duplicated
  • Landlord has no camera or entry log to verify who was on premises

How it changes the day

Every tenant’s PIN opens only their own room. Nobody else’s. When Room 3 vacates at midnight, access is deactivated remotely — no visit, no cost. New PIN ready by morning. Common hallway lights activate on movement, off when empty. The electricity bill drops. The landlord manages four properties from Subang and hasn’t physically changed a lock in six months.

FAQ

Common questions

Can each tenant have a PIN that only opens their own room?

Yes — each room has its own smart lock. Tenants cannot access each other’s rooms under any circumstances.

How do I handle move-out without being on-site?

Deactivate credentials remotely from the app — room PIN stops working immediately, ready for next tenant.

What if a tenant is locked out at midnight?

Remotely unlock via app or generate a single-use override code — no physical visit required.

Can motion-sensor lights reduce my common area electricity bill?

Yes — lights activate on movement and auto-off after idle period. No behaviour change required from tenants.
