There is a wide range of rental accommodation of various types available throughout Malta, including short-term and long-term lets. Most rental properties come fully furnished and equipped. Electricity, water and telephone expenses may be additional to the rent, although they are often included in the rent for short-term lets.

For long-term lets, a month's rent is usually payable in advance. This is held as a deposit against unpaid bills or necessary repair work, and is refunded if appropriate at the end of the let.

Typical monthly rental prices are as follows:

Small apartment LM 70
House LM 180
Luxury 3-bed seafront apartment LM 300
Villa with private pool LM 500

Rental prices vary between locations, with the highest being found in the Sliema and St. Julian's areas, and lower cost accommodation available in Msida, Bugibba and the island of Gozo.
