Purpose The purpose of this study is to fill a knowledge gap by analyzing the motivations of tenants to co-living spaces in Klang Valley, Malaysia as the motives of co-living spaces are related to how well that space supports their needs. Design/methodology/approach Tenants’ behaviors were examined using a convergent parallel mixed-method approach, which included a survey and an in-depth interview. A total of 175 respondents were interviewed using purposive sampling. Findings The results show that the preference for co-living attributes has changed during the pandemic. User ratings of preference for physical and leasing attributes of co-living spaces are significant in terms of co-living motivations. The findings also revealed that tenants prefer twin-sharing and master bedrooms when choosing a co-living space to stay in. Research limitations/implications Identifying the factors that influence such motivations is critical for housing developers and co-living service providers to pay close attention to improving tenants’ living experiences. Originality/value There is interest in the co-living spaces that are available for rent. However, very little research is based on an understanding of how the tenants in Klang Valley, Malaysia perceive this type of living arrangement. A better understanding and prediction of tenants’ needs and preferences may lead to a better understanding of the attributes that influence their motivations for using co-living spaces.

The findings show that Raja Uda, Ampang Park and Persiaran KLCC stations show significant performance. However, Bandar Malaysia North station displayed poor result with the lowest percentage of residential and commercial components. All stations did not achieve the ideal TOD value for residential land use and eight out of eleven stations recorded higher than the ideal TOD value for roads. However, highest number of stations achieved the ideal TOD value for mixed-use and commercial land uses. These results would help policymakers to improve the current implementation of TODs in Malaysia.

The minimum level of sufficiency (kifayah adna) for a wife guarantees her basic living maintenance in Islam. It is a level forwarded by some Hanafi scholars who considered it the bare minimum maintenance required to meet a wife’s basic needs. An adequate stipend for a wife’s maintenance secures her livelihood. This study interviews a group of mothers and judges. Analysis of the collected data reveals that determining what constitutes kifayah helps resolve various questions and uncertainties in judicial issues such as determining the minimum level of living in the community, over-maintenance issues, fasakh case claims due to a waiver of maintenance or inadequate livelihood and issues pertaining to polygamy. The paper concludes that determining the minimum level of kifayah and ensuring it is practised helps satisfy the basic needs of a wife and avoid her being subjected to harm. It is a clear manifestation of the maqasid al-shariah that seek to preserve life, intellect, religion, wealth and progeny. Its determination guarantees the wife a monthly stipend to ensure her needs are met. This requires periodic socioeconomic studies of society to ensure that the maintenance levels are adequate.
