The House Rental Lease Agreement is a fundamental legal instrument in the Malaysian residential property market, essential for formalizing rental arrangements between property owners and tenants. This document is primarily used when leasing residential properties in Malaysia, whether for individual housing needs or corporate rental purposes. It encompasses crucial elements required under Malaysian law, including precise property details, rental terms, security deposit arrangements, and maintenance responsibilities. The agreement must comply with various Malaysian legislations, including the National Land Code 1965 and Contracts Act 1950, and requires proper stamping under the Stamp Act 1949 to be legally enforceable. This standardized yet customizable agreement helps prevent disputes by clearly defining the rights, obligations, and expectations of all parties involved in the rental transaction.
