Document background
The Notice To Vacate For Non Payment Of Rent is a crucial legal document used in Malaysian property management when tenants default on their rent obligations. This notice is typically issued after rent payments have been missed and informal attempts to resolve the situation have been unsuccessful. It must comply with Malaysian property law, including the National Land Code 1965, Contracts Act 1950, and Distress Act 1951. The document serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the breach of the tenancy agreement, demands payment of arrears, sets a deadline for either payment or vacation of the property, and establishes a legal basis for potential eviction proceedings. The notice must be carefully drafted to include all required elements under Malaysian law to be legally enforceable and to protect the landlord's interests in any subsequent legal action.
