The Basic Rental Contract serves as a fundamental legal instrument for residential property letting in Malta, designed to comply with the Private Residential Leases Act 2020 and Chapter 16 of the Maltese Civil Code. This document should be used when establishing a residential tenancy agreement between landlords and tenants in Malta, whether for furnished or unfurnished properties. The Basic Rental Contract includes mandatory provisions required by Maltese law, such as minimum lease periods, security deposit regulations, and registration requirements with the Housing Authority. It covers essential aspects including rent payment terms, maintenance obligations, utility responsibilities, and termination conditions, while allowing for customization to address specific property features or party requirements. This template ensures legal compliance while protecting the interests of both landlords and tenants under Maltese jurisdiction.
