Document background
The Informal Tenancy Agreement serves as a practical solution for residential property rentals in Malaysia where parties seek a straightforward yet legally valid arrangement. This document type is particularly useful for private landlords, individual tenants, and small-scale property managers who require a clear, uncomplicated agreement that still maintains legal enforceability under Malaysian law. While less complex than commercial leases, it includes all essential elements required by Malaysian legislation, including provisions from the National Land Code 1965 and Contracts Act 1950. The agreement typically covers rental terms, security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and basic obligations of both parties, structured in plain language while maintaining legal validity. This format is especially suitable for residential tenancies, individual room rentals, and small property lettings where the parties prefer to avoid the complexity and cost of more formal commercial lease arrangements.
