The Registered Rent Agreement is a crucial legal document required under Maltese law for all residential property rentals. This agreement became mandatory following the introduction of the Private Residential Leases Act in 2020, which revolutionized Malta's rental market regulation. The document serves as both a binding contract between parties and an official record with the Housing Authority. It must be used whenever a residential property is being leased in Malta, whether for long-term or short-term periods (subject to minimum duration requirements). The agreement includes comprehensive details about the property, parties involved, financial terms, and respective obligations, ensuring compliance with Malta's strict rental regulations. Property owners must register this agreement within 10 days of commencement, making it a vital tool for market transparency and tenant protection.
