About property managers in Malta
Property management in Malta covers two quite different jobs. Long lets need rent collection, a contact for the tenant, repairs, inspections and the lease paperwork. Short lets need guest messages, check-ins, cleaning between stays, linen and pricing on booking sites. Some managers do both, others specialise. Finding a buyer or a first tenant is estate agent work, so ask who handles that part.
Owners hire one when they live abroad, own several flats, or are tired of sorting out a broken boiler at night. It also helps when you inherit a property with tenants already in it. Ask how the manager picks tradespeople, whether repair bills are marked up, and how often you will get a statement.
Fees depend on the service level, long or short let, the number of units and what is included: cleaning, laundry, maintenance visits, listing management or only rent collection. Short lets mean more daily work and are priced differently. Get the contract in writing, including the notice period and who holds the keys and the deposits.

Good to know in Malta
- Under the Private Residential Leases Act (Cap. 604), private residential lease contracts and their renewals must be registered with the Housing Authority. The landlord must register within thirty days of the lease starting, and an unregistered lease is null and void. Registration is done online only. Source
- Under the Malta Travel and Tourism Services Act (Cap. 409), no one may provide accommodation in a house to tourists without a licence, and a house may only be let to a tourist if the Malta Tourism Authority has issued a valid licence for it. Source
- Under the Property Market Agency Act (Cap. 644), acting as an intermediary in negotiating the sale, transfer or lease of property needs a licence. If your manager also finds tenants for you, that part falls under this licence. Source
Questions
How much does property management cost in Malta?
It depends on what you hand over. Rent collection alone is a lighter job than full management with repairs and inspections, and short lets with cleaning, laundry and guest messages are heavier still. The number of units and where they are also count. Ask each manager to price the same list of tasks, and check whether repair bills are passed on at cost.
Can a property manager run my Airbnb in Malta?
Yes, many managers handle short lets on booking sites: the listing, pricing, guest messages, check-ins and cleaning between stays. Before you start, check that the property has the Malta Tourism Authority licence that letting to tourists requires, and agree who sorts it out if it does not. Also agree who answers guests at night and who pays for damage.
What does a property manager do for a long let?
They act as the tenant's day to day contact, collect the rent, arrange repairs, inspect the property and handle check-out and the deposit. They can also prepare the lease and register it with the Housing Authority, which the landlord must do within thirty days of the start. Ask for a sample monthly statement so you know what reporting you will get.
Do property managers cover Gozo?
Some do, and Gozo holiday homes are a common case. Ask whether they have staff or cleaners based on the island or travel over from Malta, because the ferry affects how fast someone can reach a leak or a guest locked out at night. Ask who they call for urgent repairs and how they show you the job was done.
