Document background
The Fixed Term Lease Agreement is a fundamental document in Belgian residential property law, used when parties wish to establish a tenancy for a predetermined period. This document is essential for both private and professional landlords operating in Belgium, requiring compliance with specific regional housing regulations depending on the property's location (Brussels-Capital Region, Flanders, or Wallonia). The agreement must address mandatory elements under Belgian law, including registration requirements, energy performance certificates, and property condition reports. It establishes clear terms for rent payment, maintenance obligations, and termination conditions while protecting both landlord and tenant rights under Belgian housing legislation. The document must be drafted in accordance with the language requirements of the region and typically requires registration with the local registration office.
