Accomdation options close to Southgate Commercial Center

In KL the owner is responsible to pay the agent's finder's fee.

The difference in properties named is more to do with whether it is a private rental direct with the owner, or through a service provider.

You should never pay any building service charges as the rent should cover them and the owner should pay them. Some apartment buildings may be cheaper because they have no facilities such as pool or gym, which condos have on site. Most developments will be gated and have security - some older smaller developments will not.

Serviced apartments usually mean that unit cleaning is included if from a commercial company. (Some residences have a mix of private ownership and a group of units managed by a commercial company).

The owner may provide cleaning service and back-charge you. Owners have different arrangements in place depending on their preferences. Usually the tenant is responsible for paying utilities (water, electricity, gas) and internet/tv subscriptions if renting from an owner.

The usual deposit to acquire a rental agreement with a private owner is 2.5 months of the rent level agreed.  Serviced apartments often include some utility charges against a higher rent and smaller deposit.

All rents are negotiable with private owners, but less so through managed units. Check out offers on places like iproperty or propertyguru to find your budget. Rents are set by market forces but currently downward trending in many places due to oversupply.

Thanks Gravitas!
Kindly also share some area names / apartment names which are travel friendly via Public transport  around South-gate Commercial Center. I see that the nearest train station is CHAN SOW LIN. 

Please suggest areas names which have oversupply of apartments, may be I can get a value deal. i have just heard and seen on the maps few area likes- Damansera heights, Bangasar,  Bangasar South, Cheras.  I have also looked up at mudah.my and propsocial.   However i am not able to gauge how travel friendly are these?

Please suggest if a budget of 3K for a 3bhk fully furnished is a practical rent expectation to start with.

TIA.
