Housing
Malta's private rental market varies substantially by locality and season, so treat online price ranges as examples rather than national facts. Start early near the main study areas, but verify the property and landlord before paying.
For a Study residence application, a private rental normally requires a signed lease with full property and party details, Housing Authority registration/approval and the applicable Lease Agreement Attestation documentation. Institutional accommodation and ownership situations can follow different evidence rules.
