Malta property Q&A
What is the average rent in Malta?
Last updated 26 September 2026
In short
The median asking rent in Malta is €1,300 per month, based on 3,834 live rental listings on Darscover.
The detail
Rents vary widely by area and size. One bedroom apartments in central and coastal towns such as Sliema, St Julian's and Gzira command the highest asking rents, while inland and southern localities are noticeably cheaper for the same size of home.
The figure above is the median asking rent across all live listings, so half of homes are advertised below it and half above. It reflects what landlords are asking today, not signed lease values. For the quarter by quarter trend and the breakdown by locality, see the Malta Rent Index.
