Document background
The Residential Tenancy Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Malaysia for establishing and managing residential rental arrangements. It serves as the primary contract between property owners (landlords) and occupants (tenants), documenting all essential aspects of the rental relationship. This document is crucial for both private and corporate lettings, incorporating provisions that comply with Malaysian property law, including the National Land Code 1965 and relevant state regulations. The agreement typically covers key elements such as rental terms, security deposits, maintenance obligations, and termination conditions, while also addressing specific requirements under Malaysian jurisdiction such as stamp duty compliance and tenancy registration requirements. It's designed to protect the interests of all parties involved while ensuring clarity in their respective rights and obligations throughout the tenancy period.
