Document background
An End Of Tenancy Letter is a crucial document in Belgian residential property law that formally initiates the process of terminating a rental agreement. It must be prepared in accordance with the specific requirements of the applicable regional housing code (Brussels, Flanders, or Wallonia) and federal legislation. This document is typically used when a tenant wishes to end their lease, whether at the natural conclusion of the rental period or in cases of early termination where permitted by law. The letter must include specific elements such as clear identification of the property, precise termination dates, and arrangements for final inspection and key handover. It serves as a legal record of notice given and helps ensure compliance with Belgian tenancy laws regarding notice periods, property inspection requirements, and security deposit return procedures. The document's format and content must align with both regional and federal requirements to be legally valid.
