Landlord and tenant are bound by the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement. Tenancy agreement is a contract involve a landlord and a tenant. In absence of any agreement, the tenancy shall be deemed to be a monthly tenancy.

Any renewal with a possible rent adjustment should be mutually agreed upon. Tenancy agreements in Malaysia are covered by the Contracts Act 1950. Certain provisions of the National Land Code 1965 contain provisions on leases and tenancies.; eviction of tenants is covered in a couple sections in the Specific Relief Act 1950 and Distress Act 1951.
