Document background
The Eviction Notice Non Payment Of Rent is a critical legal document used in the Belgian residential and commercial rental market when tenants have defaulted on their rent payments. It serves as the formal commencement of eviction proceedings under Belgian law, requiring strict adherence to federal and regional housing regulations. The document must include specific elements such as detailed payment default information, notice periods, and mandatory social welfare notifications to CPAS/OCMW. It's essential to note that Belgian law provides strong tenant protections, and the notice must account for regional variations in housing regulations across Brussels, Wallonia, and Flanders. The document should be used only after informal attempts to resolve payment issues have failed and must be served in accordance with legal requirements, including consideration of seasonal restrictions (such as winter eviction moratoriums) and social welfare provisions.
