Frequently asked questions
Cancel Wework: The Right Way
How to cancel your WeWork membership in malaysia without losing your deposit
What WeWork is and why members cancel
WeWork operates as a flexible workspace membership service across Malaysia, offering hot desks, private offices, meeting rooms, and dedicated desk access on a monthly recurring basis. You pay a subscription fee - not for property ownership, but for access rights to workspace facilities across multiple cities. In Kuala Lumpur, WeWork maintains a confirmed location at Equatorial Plaza, one of several hubs serving the Malaysian market.
The membership model works straightforwardly until you decide to leave. Many Malaysian members cancel for valid reasons: they return to traditional offices, their business closes, costs exceed budget, or they find alternative coworking providers. The cancellation process itself, however, is where friction emerges. Unlike the simple sign-up flow, WeWork's public cancellation pathway is limited - no public phone number, no live chat, and support routed primarily through account settings or email at [email protected]. Yafee has identified this gap as a common pain point for Malaysian users navigating workspace contracts.
Pricing tiers and what you are paying for
WeWork Malaysia offers tiered membership plans with clear monthly costs. Understanding your current plan is essential before you cancel, because the cancellation terms and notice periods differ by tier.
| Plan name | Monthly cost (RM) | Access scope | Bookings per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Access Basic | RM919 | 180+ locations worldwide | 1 coworking space booking |
| All Access Plus | RM1,415 | 500+ locations worldwide | 1 coworking space booking |
| Private Office (2-person) | RM1,420 | Dedicated physical office | Unlimited access |
| Dedicated Desk | Varies by location | Single fixed desk | Unlimited access |
If you hold a private office or dedicated desk plan, you are bound by a workspace lease - not merely a casual software subscription. These agreements typically include minimum terms (often 12 months), notice periods (30 or 60 days), and early termination fees. Monthly plans may auto-renew unless you cancel within the required notice window. Consequently, the first step is always to review your membership agreement and identify the exact cancellation deadline.
Common reasons malaysian users cancel
WeWork members in Malaysia cite several reasons for cancellation. Cost reduction is frequent - at RM919 or higher monthly, budget-conscious teams shift to cheaper alternatives such as WORQ, Common Ground, or MYWO. Relocation also drives cancellations; members returning to home working or moving to traditional offices no longer need flexible access. Some discover they underestimated their actual workspace needs after signing up, while others face business closures or restructuring.
Understanding your reason helps you negotiate with WeWork support if early termination fees apply. Yafee advisors recommend documenting your business circumstances before contacting support, because this context strengthens any request for fee waiver or early release.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer law
Your cancellation rights in Malaysia are grounded in the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which governs recurring payment agreements and membership contracts.
Consumer protection act 1999 and membership cancellation
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 requires that any supplier offering membership or subscription services must provide you with a clear cancellation mechanism. Section 87 of the Act specifically protects consumers in "automatic renewal" situations. If WeWork auto-renews your membership, you have the statutory right to cancel without penalty, provided you comply with any notice period explicitly stated in your contract at the time you signed up.
In accordance with this Act, WeWork must not charge you for periods after your cancellation date if you submit cancellation notice within the required timeframe. If your membership agreement specifies a 30-day notice period and your next billing date is 15 days away, you must submit cancellation within the 30-day window to avoid the next charge.
Your legal position in cancellation disputes
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel at any time, subject to the notice period and early termination terms specified in your membership agreement. WeWork cannot charge you after your cancellation takes effect. If WeWork auto-renews your membership despite your cancellation request, the charge is potentially recoverable under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. If WeWork refuses to process your cancellation or disputes your notice date, you may escalate to the Federation of Malaysian Consumers (FMC) or the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) for investigation. These authorities have enforcement power over consumer contract disputes and can compel refunds.
Yafee recommends that all cancellation communications be sent in writing - email or registered letter - so you retain proof of submission and date. Verbal cancellation requests leave you unprotected if the company claims non-receipt.
Step-by-step cancellation through your WeWork account
The primary cancellation route is self-service via your online account dashboard. This method is fastest and leaves an auditable trail.
Log in and locate your account settings
- Visit wework.com or open the WeWork mobile app (iOS or Android).
- Enter your email address and password to access your account.
- Navigate to Account Settings - typically found in the user menu (top-right corner of the dashboard).
- Locate the Membership or Billing tab within Account Settings.
Your membership dashboard displays your current plan name, billing cycle (e.g., "renews 15 March 2025"), next billing amount, and any workspace locations linked to your account. Take a screenshot of this page for your records.
Review your membership agreement and notice period
- Within Account Settings, find the Membership Agreement or Terms link.
- Open the document and search for terms such as "cancellation", "notice period", "termination", or "early exit".
- Note the exact notice period required (e.g., "30 days prior to renewal date").
- Identify any early termination fees, minimum term conditions, or workspace-specific clauses.
- Check the date of your next billing cycle - this is your deadline anchor.
For example, if your next billing date is 30 March 2025 and your agreement requires 30 days' notice, you must initiate cancellation by 28 February 2025. Submitting cancellation on 1 March means you have missed the window and will be charged for April.
Submit your cancellation request through the platform
- Return to the Membership tab in Account Settings.
- Look for a button labelled Cancel Membership, Downgrade, or End Membership.
- Click the button to open the cancellation flow.
- Answer any prompted questions about your reason for cancellation (optional, but sometimes provides context for support).
- Confirm the cancellation and your effective end date - this will be displayed on screen.
- Take a final screenshot showing the cancellation confirmation message and confirmation number (if provided).
WeWork's system will show you the exact date your access ends and when your final billing period concludes. Ensure this date aligns with your intention - if you submitted cancellation late and the system shows another charge, contact support immediately using the confirmation number.
Email confirmation and secondary documentation
- After you submit cancellation through the platform, check your registered email inbox for a confirmation message from WeWork.
- If no confirmation arrives within 24 hours, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation Confirmation Request - [Your Email Address]".
- In your email, reference the date you submitted cancellation and request written confirmation of your cancellation effective date.
- Include a screenshot of your membership dashboard showing the cancellation state.
- Keep all email exchanges for dispute resolution if needed.
Yafee's experience shows that written follow-up via email significantly reduces the risk of cancellation being lost in support queues. Malaysian WeWork users who skip this step sometimes discover unexpected charges weeks later, when support claims the original cancellation request was not recorded.
Cancellation via email and formal notice
If the platform cancellation method fails or is unclear, you have the right to cancel formally in writing.
Email cancellation to WeWork support
- Compose an email to [email protected].
- Use the subject line: "Formal Cancellation Notice - WeWork Membership [Your Full Name]".
- Include the following details in the email body:
- Your full name and registered email address on your WeWork account
- Your membership account number (if visible in your dashboard)
- Your current plan name (e.g., "All Access Plus")
- The date you are requesting cancellation to take effect (must respect the notice period in your agreement)
- A statement: "I request that my membership be cancelled effective [date], in accordance with the notice period specified in my membership agreement."
- Send the email from the address registered on your WeWork account.
- Request a read receipt or send via registered email service to prove delivery.
Email cancellation is a valid method under Malaysian consumer law, even if WeWork prefers the online portal. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1999, your written notice is binding once the company receives it, provided you observe the agreed notice period.
Registered letter cancellation (if email fails)
- If WeWork does not respond to email within 7 business days, prepare a formal cancellation letter.
- Address your letter to:
- WeWork Malaysia Sdn Bhd
- Equatorial Plaza, Kuala Lumpur (or the registered address shown on your invoices)
- Include the same details as your email (name, account number, plan, effective cancellation date, and reference to your membership agreement).
- Send the letter via registered post with delivery confirmation - Malaysia Post's registered mail service provides proof of receipt.
- Retain the registration receipt and delivery confirmation as evidence.
Registered letter cancellation is slower but creates an irrefutable paper trail. Yafee advises this approach when the company has ignored email communications or when your dispute involves a significant termination fee.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not always mean immediate access loss; the timing depends on your membership type and agreement terms.
Access end date and workspace transition
Once you cancel, WeWork will grant you access until the end of your current billing period or the effective date you specified, whichever applies. If you cancel on 15 March with a next billing date of 30 March, you typically retain access until 29 March. If you hold a private office or dedicated desk, coordinate with WeWork to return your access card, keys, or security credentials before your final day. Failure to return physical access items may result in additional charges.
Notify WeWork of any ongoing bookings or meeting-room reservations under your account - these should be cancelled to avoid confusion and potential charges for unattended facilities.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Refunds are conditional on whether you have paid in advance for periods after your cancellation date. If your final billing date is 30 March 2025 and you cancel on 15 March, you are entitled to a pro-rata refund for the unused portion (15-30 March). WeWork must process this refund within 14 days of your cancellation taking effect, in accordance with Malaysian consumer protection standards.
If you cancel mid-month and have already paid a full month, request a refund explicitly in your cancellation email. Some companies process refunds automatically; others require a separate request. Yafee recommends asking for refund confirmation in writing - do not assume it will happen.
| Scenario | Refund eligibility | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel before next billing date; no advance payment | No refund needed | N/A |
| Cancel mid-cycle; already paid full month | Pro-rata refund due | 14 days after cancellation |
| Cancel with unused credits or bookings | Refund or credit transfer (depends on agreement) | Varies by company policy |
| Cancel within trial period (if applicable) | Full refund (if within trial terms) | 7-14 days |
Account closure and data retention
After your cancellation effective date, your WeWork account will remain visible in your login history for administrative purposes. Your billing history, invoices, and transaction records remain accessible for tax and accounting use. WeWork will not delete your account automatically unless you request full account deletion - this is separate from membership cancellation.
If you want your personal data fully removed from WeWork systems, submit a data deletion request to [email protected], referencing the Data Protection Act 2010 (if applicable in your contract). This is optional and not necessary for simple membership cancellation.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation missteps are reversible if caught quickly, but prevention is far simpler than dispute resolution. Here are the pitfalls Malaysian users encounter most often.
Submitting cancellation after the notice deadline
This is the single most frequent error. Members assume they can cancel anytime, only to discover their membership agreement requires 30 or 60 days' written notice. If your next billing date is 30 March and you cancel on 20 March, you are 10 days too late - you will be charged for April unless your agreement allows same-month cancellation.
Calculate your deadline immediately after deciding to leave. Count backwards from your next billing date by the number of days specified in your agreement. Write this deadline on your calendar and set a phone reminder 3 days before the cutoff. Yafee's experience shows that users who do this avoid 90% of unwanted charges.
Cancelling without saving confirmation
Platform cancellations sometimes disappear from account dashboards within hours or days - particularly during system updates. If you later discover a charge, WeWork support may claim your cancellation was never recorded. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation immediately after submission, before you close the browser. Save the email confirmation, the platform screenshot, and the confirmation number (if provided) to a dedicated folder.
Assuming immediate access loss
Some members cancel and then expect immediate lockout. In reality, you retain access until your paid period ends. Attempting to access the workspace after expecting it to close may cause confusion with reception staff. Inform your local WeWork site manager of your departure in advance so your access badge or card can be formally deactivated on the correct date.
Ignoring auto-renewal clauses
WeWork memberships auto-renew by default unless you explicitly cancel. Simply stopping usage of the workspace does not stop billing. Members who abandon their WeWork account without cancellation discover months of phantom charges months later. Always cancel the membership itself, not just stop visiting.
If WeWork refuses to cancel or charges you after cancellation
Cancellation disputes do occur, particularly when notice dates or agreement terms are ambiguous. You have formal escalation routes under Malaysian law.
Document and escalate internally
- Gather all evidence: your cancellation request (email, screenshot, or letter), the cancellation confirmation (if received), your next billing date, the notice period from your agreement, and any unwarranted charges.
- Send a formal written dispute to [email protected] with the subject: "Billing Dispute and Cancellation Clarification Request".
- Outline the facts: when you submitted cancellation, what notice period your agreement requires, and why you believe the charge is invalid.
- Request a written explanation and refund within 10 business days.
- Do not rely on verbal assurances - all responses must be in writing.
Escalate to malaysian consumer authorities
If WeWork does not respond or refuses your claim, you may lodge a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers (FMC) or the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA). These authorities enforce the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and can compel companies to refund disputed charges.
- Visit the MDTCA website (domestic.trade.gov.my) to download the consumer complaint form.
- Complete the form with your account details, the dispute date, the amount in dispute, and all supporting documents.
- Submit the form via post or email to your nearest MDTCA office (locations are listed on the website).
- The MDTCA will investigate within 30 days and contact both you and WeWork.
- If mediation fails, you may proceed to small claims or arbitration depending on the dispute amount.
Yafee has observed that formal complaints to the MDTCA resolve most billing disputes within 60 days, often in the consumer's favour when evidence (email confirmations, screenshots, and the membership agreement) is clear.
Checklist for safe WeWork cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is complete and irreversible.

Key takeaways and next steps
WeWork cancellation in Malaysia is legally straightforward but operationally brittle. Your right to cancel is protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, provided you observe the notice period in your membership agreement. The most critical step is identifying and meeting your cancellation deadline - missing it by one day results in an unwanted charge.
Yafee recommends that you prioritise written confirmation (email or registered letter) over platform self-service alone. If you are not certain whether your cancellation was processed, send a follow-up email to [email protected] within 48 hours of your intended submission. For disputed charges, escalate to the MDTCA - this authority has successfully recovered refunds for Malaysian consumers in similar disputes.
Cancellation disputes are avoidable with preparation. Review your agreement, calculate your deadline, submit in writing, save confirmation, and monitor your next billing cycle. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel workplace and subscription memberships safely by following these steps, and the same method applies to your WeWork agreement.
Start your cancellation today by logging into your WeWork account and reviewing the notice period in your membership agreement. If you encounter obstacles, Yafee's legal guides provide additional support for dispute escalation to Malaysian consumer authorities.
