FAQs About Renting in Malta

What documents do I need to rent a property in Malta?

To rent a property in Malta, you will usually need the following documents:

  • A valid passport or identification card for identity verification.
  • Proof of income such as an employment contract, recent payslips, or bank statements to assure landlords of your financial stability.
  • A security deposit (usually equivalent to one or two months’ rent), which may be refundable at the end of the lease.
  • References from previous landlords may be requested, particularly for high-value rentals.
  • Some landlords may also require a signed rental agreement that outlines the lease terms, conditions, and responsibilities.

In long-term rentals, utilities like electricity, water, gas, internet, and television services are generally not included in the rental price. Tenants are responsible for paying these separately. 

In short-term rentals, landlords often include utilities in the rental price for convenience, covering basic usage within reasonable limits. It’s always best to confirm the utility arrangements before signing your lease.

Rental contracts in Malta typically run for a minimum of 12 months for long-term rentals.

Short-let contracts can range from a few days to six months, depending on the agreement. Some landlords may offer flexible lease terms or extendable contracts, while others may require a fixed-term commitment. If you plan on staying longer, it’s advisable to check the lease terms in advance and clarify renewal options.

Furnished rentals in Malta usually come with essential household items to provide a move-in-ready experience, including:

  • Major appliances, including a refrigerator, oven, washing machine, and air conditioning.
  • Basic furniture, such as beds, sofas, dining tables, and wardrobes.
  • Kitchen essentials like cooking utensils, cutlery, plates, and sometimes even a microwave or dishwasher.
  • Soft furnishings like curtains, rugs, and bedding, depending on the rental agreement.
  • Some luxury or serviced apartments may also provide internet, television, and weekly cleaning services. Always check the inventory list before signing the lease to avoid any surprises.
