1. What is the product about?
The Protect or Protect+ is a Landlord Subscription Plan collectively offered to landlords by Speedrent Technology Sdn Bhd (201601005661) (“SPEEDHOME”) and Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad (200601015674) (“Allianz”). It combines products/services provided by SPEEDHOME (an online rental platform owned by Speedrent Technology Sdn Bhd) and an insurance policy underwritten by Allianz.
The Landlord Standard Plan is a subscription plan that only includes products/services provided by SPEEDHOME.
2. Who is eligible to subscribe?
Any landlord who is renting out their property in Malaysia with a monthly rental value between RM500 to RM5,000 through SPEEDHOME can subscribe to Standard, Protect, or Protect+ Plan.
3. When can I purchase the Landlord Subscription Plan?
Landlords can purchase the Subscription Plan at the start of the tenancy or within 60 days provided that there is no rental or utilities overdue payment from the tenant.
4. What are the benefits provided?
10. What is an Overstay Cash Defender (OCD)?
OCD is a benefit offered by SPEEDHOME to ensure the landlord can receive their monthly rental even if the tenant stops paying the rent whilst occupying the house during the tenancy period.
OCD payment to the landlord is only valid during the tenancy period and will no longer be applicable when the tenant has been evicted.
For example, in a one-year contract, if the tenant does not pay the rent on the third month after he moves in and occupies the house, SPEEDHOME will pay the rent starting from that month until the tenure ends or the tenant has been evicted.
It is important to note that OCD will be retracted in the event the landlord does not cooperate with SPEEDHOME on the eviction process.
Loss of Rental Benefit is collectively offered to you by SPEEDHOME & Allianz. Depending on the protection plan you have subscribed to, Allianz will cover up to 80% of 2 months rental*, and SPEEDHOME will top up to cover up to 100% of 2 months’ rental* to the landlord who subscribed to Protect or Protect+ protection plan.

(b) The Tenant dies or suffers Total Permanent Disablement due to an Accident, or
(c) The Tenant runs away/abandons the Tenancy in default of the Tenancy.

The maximum amount a landlord receives for any one occurrence of loss of rent as a consequence of the insured events above is the amount of rent that the Insured would receive from the Tenant until a new tenant takes over the Tenancy that shall not exceed a maximum of two (2) months’ rental or the amount specified in the Schedule following the plan selected, whichever is lower.
