The Kuala Lumpur Airbnb version of Monopoly board includes an overview of some of the city's top condominiums and how much landlords can earn by listing a 3-bedroom condo on short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb, HomeAway and Booking.com. Kevin Tan, Kuala Lumpur City Manager at GuestReady, said that Monopoly is such a landmark in the property industry that they thought to have a bit of fun by re-adopting the board to their field and showcasing the city's top tier developments with the daily earning potential on short-term rental platforms.

Although Airbnb is legal in Malaysia, it can be tricky for property investors to understand which condominiums have a commercial use classification needed to place their units on short-term rental platforms.

Apartment and condominium owners may only rent out their properties if the bylaws of the building permit it; otherwise, they risk a penalty or have access to the building being denied to their guests by building security.

Homeowners and investors should take note that the rules and regulations for homestays in Malaysia are constantly being updated; impacting condominiums directly on whether or not the vacation rental businesses can continue operations in certain buildings.
