Rumah Selangorku eligibility: who qualifies and how to apply
You earn a modest salary, you do not own a home in Selangor, and you want to know whether the state's affordable housing scheme will take you. Rumah Selangorku is open to Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above whose household income (yours plus your spouse's) is RM14,500 a month or less, where neither of you owns a home in Selangor. Those are the conditions listed on the application portal of LPHS, the Selangor Housing and Property Board, checked on 5 October 2026.
Prices are fixed by house type: RM42,000 for Type A (income up to RM3,500), RM100,000 for Type B (up to RM7,000), RM150,000 for a Type C apartment (up to RM10,000) and RM200,000 to RM250,000 for Types D and E (up to RM14,500). You apply online at ehartanah.lphs.gov.my, not through the developer, for one house type and one project. The catch: the unit can only be transferred 5 years after the sale and purchase agreement (SPA), and only with state approval.
What is Rumah Selangorku, and what are the prices and income caps for each type?
Rumah Selangorku (often shortened to RSKU) is the Selangor state government's affordable housing programme, run by LPHS (Lembaga Perumahan dan Hartanah Selangor). The state does not build the homes itself. They are built by private developers inside ordinary housing projects and sold at a fixed state price, and LPHS decides who may buy them. So the building quality and completion risk follow the developer, while the queue is run by the state.
There are five house types. Each has one fixed price and one household-income ceiling, as published in the LPHS portal FAQ (ehartanah.lphs.gov.my, checked 5 October 2026):
| Type | Apartment price | Landed price | Maximum household income a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | RM42,000 | RM42,000 (townhouse) | RM3,500 |
| B | RM100,000 | RM100,000 (townhouse) | RM7,000 |
| C | RM150,000 | RM200,000 (townhouse) | RM10,000 |
| D | RM200,000 | RM250,000 (terrace) | RM14,500 |
| E | RM250,000 | RM250,000 (terrace) | RM14,500 |
Household income means the applicant plus spouse. The ceiling is a maximum, not a band: a household earning RM3,000 may apply for Type B or C if a bank will lend, but a household earning RM8,000 cannot apply for Type B. You may register for one house type only, so pick the type whose instalment you can carry - the worked figures are further down.
Rumah Selangorku eligibility: the criteria you must meet
- Malaysian citizen, 18 or olderBoth the applicant and the spouse must be Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above (LPHS portal FAQ). A single person can apply; LPHS asks for a letter confirming single status at the offer stage.
- Neither you nor your spouse owns a home in SelangorThe rule covers any house in Selangor, whether from a government or a private project. A home outside Selangor does not bar you - LPHS asks for a copy of that SPA as proof of where it is. Declare honestly: the offer is conditional on your documents.
- Household income within the ceiling for the type you chooseRM3,500 for Type A, RM7,000 for Type B, RM10,000 for Type C and RM14,500 for Types D and E, counted as applicant plus spouse. LPHS asks for the latest payslips, or a statutory declaration (a sworn statement) if you are self-employed.
- No Selangor birth or residence test is listedAs at 5 October 2026 the LPHS portal lists only the three conditions above; it does not require you to be born in, living in or working in Selangor. Selection is by what LPHS calls a merit system, and it does not publish how the points are scored. Send us your details on WhatsApp if you are unsure how your case will be read.
- One house type, one projectYou may choose one house type only and one project when you register. You can change the project location yourself while your status is still on the waiting list.
- You can actually get the loanLPHS allocates the unit; a bank still has to approve your financing, and the portal FAQ is clear that the state does not provide financing if the bank says no. Check your CCRIS report (Bank Negara's record of your loans and repayments) before you apply and read our home loan application guide. No fixed payslip? The government guarantee explained in our SJKP guide exists for that case.
How to apply for Rumah Selangorku on the LPHS portal, step by step
- Register as a public user on the LPHS portalGo to ehartanah.lphs.gov.my (Sistem Permohonan Hartanah Negeri Selangor) and choose the public registration, Daftar Awam. The portal carries a user manual, the FAQ and a downloadable list of projects.
- Submit your application: one type, one projectPick the house type whose income ceiling you meet and the project you want. Choose a project you can actually commute from, not the cheapest one on the list.
- Wait for selection - your registration is valid for 2 yearsThe system's selection is reviewed by a committee. A registered application stays valid for 2 years; one that is still on the waiting list after 2 years is dropped, and you register again. While waiting you can update your details and change the project location.
- Upload documents when you get a conditional offerLPHS contacts you by letter, email or phone. Per the portal FAQ you then upload: copies of the identity cards of applicant and spouse; marriage, divorce or death certificate where relevant; latest payslips, or a statutory declaration if self-employed; your EPF statement if you have one; and a CCRIS or CTOS credit report.
- Receive the offer letter and apply for your loanWith the offer letter you start the bank loan. If the application is rejected along the way, you can appeal online; the appeals committee considers it within 3 months.
- Sign the SPA with the developerThe SPA is the statutory Schedule G (landed) or Schedule H (strata) agreement. Under Regulation 11(2) of the Housing Development regulations a developer may not collect any payment before the SPA is signed. For a first home up to RM500,000 the stamp duty on both the transfer and the loan agreement is 100% exempt if the SPA is signed by 31 December 2027 (P.U.(A) 448/2025 and 449/2025) - every Rumah Selangorku price is under that cap.
- Pay by construction stage until you get the keysIf the project is still under construction, the bank releases the loan stage by stage and you pay interest on the amount released so far. Our progressive interest guide shows how to budget for it.
Rumah Selangorku vs RUMAWIP (Kuala Lumpur): which one fits you?
Can you sell a Rumah Selangorku unit, what about PR1MA, and what should you check about the project?
You cannot flip a Rumah Selangorku unit. The LPHS portal FAQ states that an application to transfer ownership is only allowed after 5 years from the SPA, and it needs the approval of the state authority. If a job move out of state or a growing family is likely within five years, weigh that before you accept an offer: the low price is paid for with a locked exit.
After the five years, the sale still goes through LPHS's transfer-consent system (spkpm.lphs.gov.my) with a RM100 processing fee. For the Type A and low-cost category the buyer you sell to must also qualify: a Malaysian aged 18 or above who lives or works in Selangor or the Klang Valley, with a household income under a ceiling tied to the unit's market price, and no other home in Selangor where the price is RM300,000 or below.
| Market price of the unit | Buyer's maximum household income a month |
|---|---|
| RM100,000 and below | RM5,000 |
| Above RM100,000 to RM200,000 | RM9,000 |
| Above RM200,000 to RM300,000 | RM12,000 |
| Above RM300,000 to RM500,000 | RM15,000 |
| Above RM500,000 | No limit |
Source: LPHS transfer-consent conditions for Type A and equivalent low-cost homes, checked 5 October 2026. LPHS does not publish a rule on renting the unit out in its FAQ; the scheme is meant for owners who live in the home, so do not buy one on a rental plan. If you need a firm answer for a specific project, send it to us and we check.
PR1MA is the federal alternative. PR1MA takes Malaysians aged 21 and above with a household income of RM2,500 to RM15,000 a month, sells homes at about RM100,000 to RM400,000 in several states including Selangor, and allows a first or second home (pr1ma.my, checked 5 October 2026). If you already own a home in Selangor, or earn slightly above RM14,500, PR1MA may still be open to you - see is PR1MA still worth it in 2026 and our three-scheme comparison.
Check the project, not just your eligibility
Because the units are built by private developers, the usual new-launch checks apply before you accept an offer:
- Run the project through Semak Projek to see whether it, or the developer's other projects, appear as sick or abandoned in the housing ministry's register.
- Read how to check a developer's track record.
- Note the promised handover date; completion date vs vacant possession explains why the two differ.
- Ask what the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund will be. On a RM42,000 or RM100,000 unit they are a large share of the monthly cost - see our maintenance fee guide.
WhatsApp the Sifu your household income, whether you or your spouse own a home and where, and the areas you can commute from. We tell you which house type you fit, what the instalment looks like, whether an open-market new launch at its net package price would cost you less each month, and what the register says about the specific project. It is free for buyers: we refer you to a licensed agent under a referral arrangement and never charge you - see how we are paid.
Questions Rumah Selangorku applicants actually ask
Who is eligible for Rumah Selangorku?
Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above, with a household income of RM14,500 a month or less, where neither applicant nor spouse owns a home in Selangor. The income ceiling is lower for the cheaper types. Source: LPHS application portal, checked 5 October 2026.
What is the income limit for Rumah Selangorku?
RM3,500 for Type A, RM7,000 for Type B, RM10,000 for Type C and RM14,500 for Types D and E. It is household income, meaning applicant plus spouse, per the LPHS portal FAQ (checked 5 October 2026).
How do I apply for Rumah Selangorku?
Online at ehartanah.lphs.gov.my, not through the developer. Register, choose one house type and one project, wait for selection, upload your documents when you get a conditional offer, then take the offer letter to a bank and sign the SPA. A registration is valid for 2 years.
Can I sell my Rumah Selangorku house?
Not in the first 5 years. LPHS only allows a transfer application after 5 years from the SPA, and it needs state authority approval. For the low-cost category the next buyer must also meet LPHS's conditions.
I own a house in another state. Can I still apply?
Yes. The rule is that you and your spouse own no home in Selangor. LPHS asks for a copy of the SPA of the home you own elsewhere as proof.
Do I still pay stamp duty on a Rumah Selangorku unit?
No, if it is your first home. Stamp duty on the transfer and on the loan agreement is 100% exempt for a first home up to RM500,000 where the SPA is signed by 31 December 2027 (P.U.(A) 448/2025 and 449/2025). Every Rumah Selangorku price is below RM500,000. Details in our stamp duty guide.
Is Rumah Selangorku better than PR1MA?
Cheaper, with a shorter published lock, but only in Selangor. Rumah Selangorku tops out at RM250,000 and locks you for 5 years. PR1MA takes household incomes of RM2,500 to RM15,000, sells at about RM100,000 to RM400,000 nationwide and allows a second home. Apply to both if you qualify, then compare the actual projects.
