If around Puchong, Cheras, Ampang - KL areas - flats & terrace houses can be as cheap as RM400-500 per month. But thn. transport & accomodations might not be as good as PJ & the rest of the locations above.

I would suggest for you to drop by your Uni.campus talk to the students/managements & etc. coz. some of them do provide hostel or hv. students who wanted to rent out their rooms. Keep a good look out for advertisements on the student boards, tiang lampu, phone booths & nearby bus stops & community boards for those too. Good thing is beside security, u can even knw ppl frm ur uni. to share study resources. But as a student, I think you’re actually looking for a room instead right?

Wow nxt mont’s your Uni. u should hv. prepared earlier.
But nvm. do write out where’s your locations so those living in KL/PJ here can assit you better.

Added. Oh I worked nearby the area you study (SS15 Subang Square Tower) before.
It’s kinda hard for you to get it for RM500-700 esp. FOR SUBANG area. Per master room includes bathroom sure can lah. My coworker’s even pay RM300-400 per room (no bathroom but includes other electrical+water bills).

Some of they said further nearby the airport area you can get flats/houses for RM500-700. But it’s not very secure besides expenses spend on transport.
My advice:
- get a bedroom + bathroom - so got personal space & do laundry for max. RM500.
- nearby your college
- get to save up transport $$, nearby food court, more secure a bit.

Normally the rent price for the double story house around RM500-RM1500 and for the condominium starting from RM450-RM2500. Deposit will be taken for 2 months, plus 1 months advance rentals, 1/2months for the utilities deposit.
Please do ask the receipt when dealing with the agent, and please do ask for the agreement of tenancy before you make your mind to rent the house. -all d best- mail me if you need my help :- xbrain [at] xbrain.biz
