Is zakah obligatory on real estate prepared for rental?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have rooms in the same house I live in, and I rent them out, meaning their income helps me a little. Is there zakah on them, may Allah prolong your life?

Answer:
Zakah is due on the rent; you purify the rent you receive from them, following the rate of one-quarter of a tenth. Yes.
