The Lease And Sublease Agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in Malta when a tenant wishes to rent out all or part of their leased property to another party. This document is essential in situations where an intermediate tenant acts as both lessee to the original landlord and lessor to the final occupant. The agreement must comply with Malta's comprehensive property laws, including the Civil Code (Chapter 16) and the Private Residential Leases Act, which provide specific requirements for rental arrangements. It's particularly relevant in commercial contexts, corporate housing arrangements, or when companies lease properties to accommodate their employees. The document includes detailed provisions for rent payment structures, maintenance responsibilities, insurance requirements, and the specific rights and obligations of all parties involved, while ensuring compliance with Maltese registration requirements and tenant protection regulations.
