Eviction in Malta is a strictly judicial process. Landlords are prohibited from taking the law into their own hands.
Rent Regulation Board (RRB) Jurisdiction
The Rent Regulation Board is the only body with the authority to order a tenant to vacate a property. Any "self-help" measures, such as changing locks, cutting off utilities, or removing tenant belongings, are illegal and can lead to criminal charges and civil damages.
Termination for Non-Renewal
For a standard long lease, if the landlord does not wish to renew the lease at the end of its term, they must:
- Send a registered letter to the tenant.
- Ensure the letter is sent at least 3 months prior to the expiry date. If this notice is not given, the lease automatically renews for another year.
Termination for Breach (Eviction)
A landlord can file for eviction before the RRB if the tenant:
- Is in arrears for at least two (2) months.
- Has breached a fundamental condition of the lease.
- Is using the property for purposes other than residential.
The landlord must first send a registered letter giving the tenant 15 days to remedy the breach (for non-payment) before filing with the RRB.
