Rent Reform Malta
Baron Properties Ltd

"There is also no doubt, however, that reform must happen if we are to be successful in achieving sustainable development. 
In the preparation of the recommendations presented in this White Paper care has been taken to design a reform that balances and weaves 
the different dimensions in a manner that secures fairness, provides protection where so appropriate, 
and achieves social justice amongst the parties." John Dalli Minister for Social Policy (29 June 2008)

The Rent Laws in Malta date back to 1939.......that is almost 70 years ago. 
The Rent Laws governing the Islands "Laws of Malta", and the "principle of fair rent" are today still based on figures dated as far back as 1949.
Almost 3 years ago, the then Ministry in charge of "Housing" Dolores Christina, promised to publish a "white paper" amending
the so called "Archaic" Rent laws. The main problem being faced in today's business society, is where property is rising steadily and at an
amazingly fast pace, there are a few people and businesses still making a fortune thanks to these "unfair" and "ludicrous" Rent Laws.

On the 29th of June 2008, thanks to Minister Dalli and Robert Arrigo, the White paper on 'Rent Reform' has finally been published.
'The White paper was a good and courageous start'

You may view these "Recommendations" and download the whole White paper" here or go to the website above.

The Malta Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise welcomes the rent law reform white paper:
Published on 4-Jul-2008
“A strong and solid step in the right direction”
There are other proposals which in the opinion of the Chamber need fine-tuning or reconsideration. 
The Chamber also feels that certain aspects have been omitted, and it will be highlighting these in its detailed submissions 
as an official reaction to this White Paper –  Chamber publishes Position Paper on Rent Laws Reform

The GRTU wishes to impose it's own ridiculous baseless rants and diatribes ! 
The latest attack on landlords Rent Reform: Who will really, really benefit? Wednesday 13th August.
Another fantastic article named after some real brain teaser "Rip-Off of the century" (sic), like they really know.
 Mr. Vincent Farrugia and Paul whatshisname Abela made connotations to many misspellings (surnames), 
further proving arrogance and ridicule about any real issue above their own. 
Who knows how much they would really have to pay for their premises should the Rent Reform be implemented.
Maybe too close to home.  Please feel free to send e-mails to both persons at Admin
