The Lease Novation Agreement is a crucial document used when an existing tenant wishes to transfer their lease obligations to a new tenant in Malta. This type of agreement is commonly required in commercial and residential property transactions where the original tenant needs to exit the lease arrangement before its natural expiration. The document must comply with Maltese law, particularly the Civil Code (Chapter 16) and the Reletting of Urban Property (Regulation) Ordinance. The agreement includes detailed provisions about the release of the original tenant, the assumption of obligations by the new tenant, and the landlord's consent to this arrangement. It also addresses practical matters such as security deposits, outstanding obligations, and the effective date of the transfer. The Lease Novation Agreement provides legal certainty and protection for all parties involved, ensuring a smooth transition of lease obligations while maintaining the original lease terms.
