Form RLI (Italy rental contract registration) in short
Form RLI is used in Italy to register a property lease or rental contract with the Agenzia delle Entrate and to report later steps such as renewal, transfer or termination. The same form is used to choose or revoke the flat-rate tax on rent (cedolare secca). The paper version is filed at an office by people who are not required to register online.
