The Need for Digital Tenancy in Malaysia
The traditional property rental landscape, with its paper-laden processes and extended waiting times, often becomes frustrating for both landlords and tenants. Hence, digital tenancy services became more popular.
1. Streamline Rental Process
Traditional property rentals often require tedious paperwork and in-person meetings, delaying move-in dates.
In contrast, digital tenancy simplifies renting by leveraging technology. Potential renters can browse listings, view property details, and take virtual tours from home.
2. Ensures Effective Communication
Traditional rental processes can be confusing and lead to misunderstandings, but digital platforms offer clear communication channels.
This ensures both tenants and landlords are on the same page throughout the leasing process.
3. Time Saving
With digital platforms, landlords and tenants can enjoy quicker response times, reducing the waiting period often accompanying traditional property renting.
Rumah-i’s Digital Tenancy Service
Rumah-i’s digital tenancy service stands out by offering a comprehensive suite of features tailored to both tenants and landlords, ensuring a seamless rental experience.

Further enhancing our security measures, all user profiles undergo rigorous verification using eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer).

To initiate, users are prompted to use their phone camera to capture a picture of their physical ID card.

After the ID capture, the front camera becomes active, inviting users to take a real-time selfie.
This isn’t just a standard photo capture; users might be asked to nod to confirm their presence, ensuring liveness detection.
3. Face Match Technology
Our advanced technology then cross-verify the user’s live facial features against the photo on their ID, ensuring genuine identity authentication.
4. OTP Verification
As a concluding step to the authentication process, users receive a one-time password (OTP) on their registered mobile number.
Once entered, this completes the verification, setting the stage for a secure rental process.

Once users have successfully passed the eKYC authentication, they are navigated to the next phase, digital signature registration.
