Document background
The Legal Rental Agreement Contract serves as the foundational document for establishing residential tenancy relationships in Belgium. It is essential for any residential property rental transaction, whether for long-term (9-year standard), short-term, or longer-term leases. The agreement must comply with the Belgian Civil Code and relevant regional housing regulations (Brussels, Flanders, or Wallonia), which have distinct requirements following the 6th State Reform. This Legal Rental Agreement Contract includes mandatory provisions regarding rent, charges, maintenance obligations, and termination rights, while also incorporating required attachments such as the energy performance certificate and property inventory. The document must be registered with the local registration office within two months of signing, with the registration duty typically being the landlord's responsibility.
