Maltese law requires landlords to be transparent by providing several key documents before or at the start of a lease.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
An EPC is a mandatory document that rates a property's energy efficiency. Landlords must show a valid EPC to prospective tenants and provide a copy once the lease is signed. EPCs are valid for 10 years and must be issued by a registered assessor.
Lease Registration Certificate
Once the Housing Authority processes a lease registration, they issue a Registration Certificate. Landlords should provide a copy of this to the tenant as proof that the lease is legal and recognized by the state.
Mandatory Inventory
As part of the registration process, a detailed inventory must be shared with the tenant and signed by both parties. This disclosure protects both sides regarding the condition of the property and its contents.
Utility Billing Information
While not a single "certificate," landlords are expected to provide clear information on how water and electricity will be billed (e.g., via the ARMS "Form H" to ensure the correct number of residents is registered for lower rates).
Inventory and Condition Reports
To comply with the Private Residential Leases Act (Cap 604), landlords must provide a comprehensive, signed inventory report alongside the lease agreement. Failure to document the exact condition of the property and its furnishings at the commencement of the tenancy heavily prejudices the landlord's legal position. Without this explicit disclosure, the Rent Regulation Board generally presumes that the property was handed over in perfect condition, significantly complicating any future claims for damages.
