Document background
The Simple Shop Rental Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Malaysian commercial property transactions to establish a clear contractual relationship between landlords and tenants for retail premises. This document is particularly relevant when leasing shop spaces in commercial areas, shopping centers, or standalone retail locations throughout Malaysia. The agreement incorporates essential elements required under Malaysian law, including provisions from the National Land Code 1965, Contracts Act 1950, and relevant state-level legislation. It covers crucial aspects such as rental terms, security deposits, maintenance obligations, and permitted use of the premises, while remaining straightforward enough for small to medium-sized business operations. This agreement is commonly used for new retail establishments, franchise locations, or when transitioning existing informal arrangements into formal documented agreements.
