You’ll usually need: a valid passport or ID, proof of income, references, and a security deposit. We can advise you further on the specific documents needed once you have found a property you are interested in.
Pet policies vary by property. If you have a pet, let your agent know upfront, and we can guide your search to find the right property for all the family.
Most short-let apartments are fully furnished. Many Malta apartments for rent long term can be furnished or unfurnished, depending on the property and the landlord’s preferences.
As of 2020, it is the landlord’s legal responsibility to register the lease agreement with the Housing Authority for long-term residential leases. This is required under Malta’s Private Residential Leases Act. While short-term leases (less than six months) typically fall outside this requirement, tenants should still confirm registration to ensure proper legal coverage and access to tenant rights.
If the property is a holiday let, the lease does not need to be registered with the Housing Authority. Instead, the property must comply with tourism and licensing regulations overseen by the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA). Landlords offering holiday lets are generally required to register their property as a holiday accommodation and obtain a valid license.
