Document background
An End of Lease Letter to Landlord is a crucial document in Belgian property law that formalizes the tenant's intention to terminate their lease agreement. This document is required whenever a tenant plans to end their tenancy, whether at the natural conclusion of the lease term or through early termination where permitted by law. The letter must comply with Belgian regional housing codes and civil law requirements, including specific notice periods that vary by region (Brussels, Flanders, or Wallonia) and type of lease. It serves multiple purposes: providing legally required notice, documenting the intended vacancy date, requesting final inspection arrangements, and initiating the process for security deposit return. The document is particularly important in Belgium where tenant-landlord relationships are heavily regulated and proper documentation is essential for legal compliance.
