The Sundaic mountain leopoldamys is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List due to a wide distribution, presumed large population, occurrence in a number of protected areas, degree of tolerance for habitat modification, and unlikely declination at the speed to qualify for a more threatened listing. However, due to deforestation of its habitat for timber, firewood, and agricultural land, its population is decreasing.
