Document background
The Transfer Of Lease Agreement To New Landlord is essential when property ownership changes hands while an active lease agreement is in place. This document, governed by Belgian law, is commonly used in property sales, inheritance transfers, or corporate restructuring where the original landlord's rights and obligations need to be formally transferred to a new property owner. It ensures compliance with both the Belgian Civil Code and regional housing regulations (Brussels-Capital, Flanders, or Wallonia), protecting all parties' interests. The agreement includes critical information about the property, existing lease terms, security deposit arrangements, and ongoing obligations, while ensuring proper registration with relevant authorities. It's particularly important as it maintains legal continuity of the lease while changing one of the principal parties.
