Hiya all,
I thought it would be front and centre, but I went back a few years and couldn't find any reference to the documents needed in order to rent a house or flat in Malta. My wife, being Brazilian, is a little worried about what they need (they have some crazy scheme where you need a guarantor and tons of stuff).
So, what do we need? I assume :
Passport copies?
Any type of bank statement, or proof of income?
Documents for renting

We may have shown a passport but I don't really recall being asked, otherwise the only thing needed was MONEY.
Agree and sign the lease and that's it.

We needed our passports - our lettings agent made copies on the spot and that was it.

We needed our passport (actually, just the passport number), 1 month's rent as a deposit and 1 month's rent paid in advance. That was all, so not much to worry about.

We also only needed to show our passports (as proof that we are "good" nationals), half of a monthly rent as commission to the agent and one month's rent in advance for the flat.
