The Room Agreement Form is a specialized legal document used in Malta for formalizing the rental of individual rooms within residential properties. It is essential for situations where a property owner wishes to rent out specific rooms while maintaining common areas shared with other occupants. This document must comply with Malta's Private Residential Leases Act and related housing regulations, requiring mandatory registration with the Housing Authority. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as rent payment terms, security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, house rules, and shared facility usage. It's particularly relevant for student accommodation, shared housing arrangements, and professional lodging, incorporating specific protections and obligations for both landlords and tenants under Maltese law.
