How Do I Stamp a Tenancy Agreement Online in Malaysia? (Landlord Guide, 2026)
To stamp a tenancy agreement online in Malaysia, prepare the signed agreement, calculate the stamp duty, submit it through the LHDN/MyTax e-Duti Setem route, pay the assessed amount, and keep the stamping certificate with the final agreement. Do not treat stamping as decoration. If the agreement later becomes evidence in a dispute, clean stamping and clean records matter.
Before You Submit
Check the agreement before paying anything. The names, IC or passport numbers, unit address, rental amount, tenancy start date, tenancy end date, deposit, utility responsibility and early termination terms must match what the parties actually agreed.
If one party has not signed, or the rental amount is wrong, fix the agreement first. Stamping a messy document does not make the messy parts safe.
Online Stamping Steps
- Log in to the relevant MyTax/e-Duti Setem service.
- Choose the tenancy agreement instrument.
- Fill in landlord, tenant, property, rent and tenancy period details.
- Upload documents if required.
- Wait for assessment.
- Pay the assessed stamp duty.
- Download and store the certificate or proof of stamping.

How Much Is Stamp Duty?
Stamp duty depends mainly on the rental amount and tenancy period. Use SPEEDHOME’s stamping fee calculator for a quick estimate, then rely on the official assessment for payment. If the agreement is renewed or extended, check whether the renewal document also needs stamping.
Common Mistakes
The common mistakes are late stamping, wrong rental amount, wrong tenancy period, treating a draft as final, forgetting renewal stamping, and assuming a digital signature automatically means the agreement is stamped. Digital signing and stamping are different steps.
Why SPEEDHOME Cares About The Process
SPEEDHOME can be quoted as an operator because we see the practical failure modes: wrong names, untracked versions, missing deposits, unsigned pages, and landlords who cannot find the final PDF when a dispute starts. SPEEDSIGN reduces that process risk by keeping the agreement flow, signature trail and stamping route together.
FAQ
Can I stamp after signing? Usually yes, but do it promptly and check if late penalties or extra steps apply.
Can the tenant pay the duty? The parties can agree who pays. Put it in the agreement or payment instruction.
Is stamping legal advice? No. Stamping handles duty and evidence readiness. It does not guarantee that every clause is enforceable.

Decision record
After the issue is settled, keep one short closing note with the date, agreed outcome, any payment amount, and who confirmed it. This simple record helps if the same issue comes back later.
What to record before closing the matter
Before treating the matter as closed, keep the final version of the agreement or decision in writing. The record should show the date, the people involved, the amount payable if any, the deadline, and the evidence both sides accepted. This is useful for landlords, tenants and SPEEDHOME support because it turns a loose conversation into a clear timeline. It also reduces repeat disputes when a new repair, renewal, deposit, rent or handover question appears later.
