The Sub Tenancy Agreement is essential in situations where an existing tenant wishes to lease all or part of their rented property to another party in Malta. This document is particularly relevant in scenarios involving temporary relocations, student housing, or corporate tenancies where the original tenant needs to sub-let the property. The agreement must align with Maltese legal requirements, including the Private Residential Leases Act 2020 and Civil Code provisions. It requires explicit head landlord consent and mandatory registration with the Housing Authority. The document covers crucial aspects such as rent payments, maintenance responsibilities, term duration, and ensures the sub-tenant's obligations don't conflict with the head lease terms. This arrangement creates a legal framework that protects the interests of all parties while maintaining compliance with Maltese property law.
