Common Residential Tenancy Agreement Questions
What is a residential tenancy agreement?
A residential tenancy agreement is a legally binding contract between a property owner (landlord) and a tenant outlining the terms of the rental. It covers the rental period (typically 1–2 years), monthly rent, security deposit, notice period, and property-specific obligations.
Do I need to stamp a residential tenancy agreement?
Yes. Stamp duty must be paid to LHDN (Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia) within 14 days of signing. The rate is RM1 per RM250 of annual rent for leases up to 1 year, RM3 per RM250 for leases of 1–3 years, RM5 per RM250 for 3–5 years, and RM7 per RM250 for leases exceeding 5 years. By convention, the tenant usually bears this cost.
What clauses must be in a residential tenancy agreement?
Essential clauses include: rental amount and payment schedule, tenancy start and end dates, security deposit amount and refund conditions, notice period for early termination, diplomatic clause (for expat tenants), inventory list of included furnishings, and maintenance responsibilities.
How long is a typical residential tenancy?
Most residential tenancies run for 1 or 2 years. Shorter or longer terms are possible with mutual agreement, but 1–2 years is the market standard in Malaysia.
