Landlords who change the rent they charge their tenants do not need to notify the Housing Authority of the change, provided that the revised total does not exceed the charge listed in the agreement registration notice.
The Housing Authority said on Tuesday it had received several notifications from landlords who wished to reduce rents for tenants during the difficult COVID-19 period.
This could happen by agreement between landlords and tenants, without the authority being notified, it said.
Any terminations of contracts or new rental contracts should still be registered on rentregistration.gov.mt.
Further information is available from the Housing Authority on telephone 22 991 010 or on rentregistration.ha@ha.gov.mt and Facebook, Rent Registration Malta.
