Document background
The Simple Tenancy Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Malaysia for establishing rental arrangements between property owners and tenants. This agreement is suitable for both residential and small commercial property rentals, providing a clear framework for the landlord-tenant relationship. It incorporates essential provisions required under Malaysian law, including the National Land Code 1965 and the Contracts Act 1950, while remaining straightforward enough for general use. The document typically includes key terms such as rental amount, duration, security deposit requirements, maintenance responsibilities, and termination conditions. It serves as a crucial tool for protecting the interests of both parties while ensuring compliance with local property regulations and tenancy laws. The Simple Tenancy Agreement is particularly useful for individual landlords, small property investors, and tenants seeking a clear, legally sound rental arrangement without the complexity of more elaborate commercial leases.
