The rental landscape in Malta was fundamentally reformed by the Private Residential Leases Act (Cap. 604), which came into force on January 1, 2020. This legislation introduced mandatory registration, minimum lease durations, and standardized termination procedures to ensure stability for both landlords and tenants.
The 2020 Legal Framework
All new private residential leases in Malta are governed by Cap 604. The Act distinguishes between Long Private Residential Leases (minimum 1 year) and Short Private Residential Leases (maximum 6 months for specific categories).
Mandatory Registration
Every private residential lease must be registered with the Housing Authority within 10 days of the commencement of the lease. Failure to register renders the lease null and void and exposes the landlord to significant administrative fines.
Minimum Duration
For standard long-term residential leases, the law mandates a minimum duration of one (1) year. Any agreement specifying a shorter duration (unless qualifying as a Short Lease) is legally deemed to be for one year.
Regulatory Oversight
The Housing Authority is the primary regulator, managing the national lease registry and providing dispute resolution through its Adjudicating Panel for small claims. Major disputes and evictions fall under the jurisdiction of the Rent Regulation Board (RRB).
