1. Definitions

Tenant/Renter: The individual(s) or entity renting the property.

Owner/Landlord: The legal owner of the property.

Agent: Che Wan Travel & Tour Sdn. Bhd.™, acting as the intermediary between the Tenant and Owner.

Property: The residential unit or house being rented.

2. Rental Agreement

A formal tenancy agreement must be signed by both the Tenant and the Owner, facilitated by the Agent. The agreement should specify the rental duration, monthly rent, security deposit, and other terms, and should be stamped via LHDN (Inland Revenue Board) to be fully enforceable as a legal document.

3. Rental Duration

Short-Term Rental: Less than 6 months.

Long-Term Rental: 6 months or more.

4. Payment Terms

Security Deposit: Equivalent to 2 months' rent (refundable upon termination of the lease, subject to property condition).

Utility Deposit: Equivalent to 1 month's rent (refundable after settling all utility bills).

Advance Rent: 1 month's rent paid in advance.

Payment Method: Bank transfer or cashier's order payable to the Owner or Agent.

Stamp Duty: The tenancy agreement is subject to stamp duty under the Stamp Act 1949. The Agent can assist with the LHDN e-stamping process upon request.

5. Tenant Responsibilities

• Maintain the property in good condition.
• Pay utility bills (electricity, water, internet, etc.) during the tenancy period.
• Notify the Agent or Owner of any damages or repairs needed.
• No subletting without prior written consent from the Owner.

6. Owner Responsibilities

• Ensure the property is in habitable condition before the Tenant moves in.
• Address maintenance and repair issues promptly (excluding damages caused by the Tenant).
• Provide necessary documents (e.g., property ownership proof, utility account details).

7. Termination of Lease

Short-Term Rental: Either party may terminate the lease with 30 days' written notice, unless otherwise agreed in the signed tenancy agreement.

Long-Term Rental: Termination requires 60 days' written notice. Early termination may incur penalties as specified in the tenancy agreement. Any early exit should be recorded in a signed variation agreement stating the handover date, deposit treatment, and confirmation from both parties.

8. House Rules

• No illegal activities or disturbances to neighbors. Note: landlords may be held responsible for illegal activities conducted on their property, so tenant screening and clear house rules are strongly advised.
• Pets are allowed only with prior written consent from the Owner.
• Smoking may be prohibited inside the property, depending on the Owner's preference.
• Discriminatory rental conditions (e.g., based on race, religion, or national origin) are discouraged and may be unenforceable as contract terms.

9. Agent's Role

• Facilitate the tenancy agreement between the Tenant and Owner.
• Collect and disburse payments as agreed.
• Act as a mediator in case of disputes.
• Assist with property inspection and inventory documentation.

10. Governing Law

As Malaysia currently has no dedicated Residential Tenancy Act in force, this agreement and any related tenancy are governed by the tenancy agreement itself together with applicable general law, including the Contracts Act 1950, Civil Law Act 1956, Specific Relief Act 1950, Distress Act 1951, and Stamp Act 1949 (for Peninsular Malaysia). Properties in Sabah or Sarawak may fall under separate state legislation. Disputes will be resolved through mediation, or failing that, the courts of Malaysia (claims up to RM5,000 may be eligible for the Magistrates' Small Claims procedure).

11. Documents to Prepare

For the Tenant:

• Copy of NRIC (for Malaysians) or passport (for foreigners).
• Proof of income (e.g., salary slips, bank statements).
• Employment letter or student ID (if applicable).
• Reference letter from previous landlord (if available).

For the Owner:

• Copy of NRIC.
• Proof of property ownership (e.g., land title, strata title).
• Latest utility bills (electricity, water, assessment).
• Maintenance fee receipt (if applicable for stratified properties).

For the Agent (Che Wan Travel & Tour Sdn. Bhd.):

• Letter of authorization from the Owner to manage the property.
• Copy of the tenancy agreement template.
• Inventory list (if the property is furnished).

12. Additional Notes

• The Agent will conduct a property inspection before the Tenant moves in and after they vacate to document the property's condition.
• All parties are encouraged to communicate openly to ensure a smooth rental experience.
• This document will be reviewed and updated should the Residential Tenancy Act be formally enacted by the Malaysian Parliament.
