Rent registration is the process of recording a qualifying private residential lease with Malta's Housing Authority.
It creates an official record of the landlord, tenant, property, duration, rent and other required information.
The system supports transparency, enforcement and access to procedures linked to registered leases.
Registration does not replace the signed contract; the contract remains the document setting out the agreement between the parties.
The owner is generally responsible for submitting the registration within the official deadline.
Both parties should keep a copy of the signed agreement and registration confirmation.
Changes, additions, substitutions or termination may require the registration record to be updated.
