Document background
The Short Form Lease Agreement is specifically designed for use in Malaysia where parties seek a straightforward, legally compliant rental arrangement without the complexity of a comprehensive lease. This document is particularly suitable for residential tenancies and smaller commercial rentals where the relationship between parties is relatively straightforward. It incorporates essential requirements under Malaysian law, including provisions required by the National Land Code 1965 and the Contracts Act 1950, while remaining accessible to non-legal professionals. The agreement includes core elements such as party details, property description, rental terms, and basic obligations, with the option to add specific clauses as needed. It's designed to be stamp duty compliant and court-admissible while maintaining brevity and clarity.
