常见问题
A Tenancy Agreement is a legal contract between a landlord and a tenant that states the terms and conditions of renting a property — such as rent amount, payment date, duration, and responsibilities.
Yes. It’s highly recommended to have a written Tenancy Agreement to protect both landlord and tenant, and to avoid disputes about payment, maintenance, or property use.
Most tenancy agreements in Malaysia last for 1 or 2 years, but the duration can be shorter or longer, depending on what both parties agree on.
A good agreement should include:
- Details of landlord and tenant
- Property address
- Rental amount and payment terms
- Tenancy period
- Deposit details (security and utility)
- Maintenance and repair responsibilities
- Termination and renewal clauses
Yes. All Tenancy Agreements in Malaysia must be stamped at LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri) to make it legally valid and admissible in court.
Stamp duty is calculated based on the monthly rent and tenancy period.
Example:
- RM1 for every RM250 of annual rent for the first RM2,400
- RM2 for every RM250 of annual rent for the next RM2,400
- RM4 for every RM250 of annual rent for the balance
By common practice in Malaysia, the tenant usually pays for the stamp duty and agreement preparation fee, unless both parties agree otherwise.
Yes. Before the tenancy expires, both landlord and tenant can renew the agreement with revised terms or same conditions, and stamp it again at LHDN.
Without a written agreement, it’s hard to prove terms or protect your rights if a dispute happens.
Both parties will have limited legal protection in case of late payment or property damage.
Yes, but it depends on the termination clause stated in the agreement.
Usually, you need to give advance notice (1–2 months) or forfeit part of the deposit if you end the tenancy early.
