Workshop Overview

In Malaysia, there is currently no explicit legislation that provides a legal framework for regulating the relationship between landlords and tenants, whether of residential, commercial, or industrial properties. The legal obligations and rights of the landlord and tenant are spelled out in a tenancy agreement entered into between the two parties, which is normally written but sometimes oral. In the event of a disagreement, common law, case law, civil law, contract law, and appropriate legislation controlling distress and the eviction procedure are used.

However, many parties have raised several contentions to the proposed Residential Tenancy Act (RTA). One of the major issues is the appointment of a Comptroller of Residential Tenancies, who will be authorized to manage security deposits on behalf of a neutral body. This webinar is intended to provide and address potential concerns and challenges with Malaysia’s proposed Residential Tenancy Act (Act).

Learning Outcomes
1. Participants will have a greater awareness and appreciation of the various types of potential
issues and challenges of the Residential Tenancy Act.
2. Participants will realize that some of the main concerns highlighted are that the RTA should only
be applicable in specific circumstances
