Do I Have to Register a Commercial Lease Agreement?

According to Maltese law, commercial property refers to a property used for business rather than residential purposes. This category encompasses properties such as offices, shops, warehouses, and factories. Owners of commercial properties are subject to different regulations than owners of residential properties. However, is it necessary to register a Commercial Lease Agreement?

To use a property as an office in Malta, owners of commercial properties need to obtain a class 4A permit. It’s important to note that despite the Private Rent Law introduced in 2020, commercial properties are not covered by this law, and commercial lease agreements do not need to be registered. For a commercial lease agreement to be valid, it must be signed by both the landlord and the tenant and contain the items mentioned in this article.
