Aim of This Scheme:
An Integral part of the regulation and professionalisation of the Rent Market in Malta was the introduction of Rental Agreement Registrations. These established and formalised the way rent works in Malta as well as balanced out the rights of both the tenants as well as the landowners in question.
The residential lease legally recognises the property which is being leased; the period covered by the lease, how and if it can be renewed, any security deposits paid and an inventory attesting the condition of the premises as well as the state of any furniture and domestic appliances supplied by the lessor.
Registration of Lease agreements can be easily done online.
