Generate Agreement — RM79 →| Tenancy Duration | Formula | Example (RM1,800/mo, 12 months) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year or less | RM1 per RM250 of annual rent | RM1,800 × 12 = RM21,600 ÷ 250 = RM86.40 → RM87 |
| 1–3 years | RM2 per RM250 of annual rent | RM1,800 × 12 = RM21,600 ÷ 250 × 2 = RM172.80 → RM173 |
| Above 3 years | RM4 per RM250 of annual rent | RM1,800 × 12 = RM21,600 ÷ 250 × 4 = RM345.60 → RM346 |
Stamp duty is paid at any LHDN office or via the MyStamp portal (stamps.hasil.gov.my). Each copy of the agreement must be stamped separately. The first copy pays full duty; subsequent copies pay RM10 each.

Calculate Rental Yield →If you're renting out a property in Malaysia, you are legally required to stamp your tenancy agreement at LHDN (Inland Revenue Board). Stamp duty is a small tax that makes your agreement legally enforceable in court — without it, the document has limited standing.
By convention in Malaysia, stamp duty on tenancy agreements is paid by the tenant. However, this is not a strict legal requirement — landlord and tenant can mutually agree on who bears the cost.
The stamp duty amount depends on your annual rental and tenancy duration. For a 12-month lease at RM1,800/month, the stamp duty is approximately RM87 per copy. Use our calculator above for your exact amount.
You can stamp your tenancy agreement at any LHDN branch, or conveniently online via the MyStamp portal at stamps.hasil.gov.my. Online stamping takes less than 10 minutes and generates a digital stamp certificate.
No. You can stamp your own agreement directly at LHDN without a lawyer. This is exactly what TanpaEjen helps you do — generate a complete, ready-to-stamp tenancy agreement for RM79, saving you RM300–500 in legal fees.
An unstamped tenancy agreement cannot be used as evidence in court. If a dispute arises between landlord and tenant, the unstamped agreement will not be admissible. Late stamping incurs a penalty of RM25 or 5% of the deficient duty (whichever is greater).
