Document background
The Giving Notice On A Rental Property document is a crucial legal instrument in Belgian tenancy law, used when a tenant wishes to formally terminate their lease agreement. It must be drafted in accordance with the Belgian Civil Code and relevant regional housing regulations (Brussels Housing Code, Flemish Housing Code, or Walloon Housing Code). This document is required whenever a tenant intends to end their tenancy, whether it's a fixed-term or open-ended contract. The notice must include specific legally required information, be delivered in the prescribed manner (typically via registered mail), and observe mandatory notice periods which vary depending on the lease type and duration. The document serves as legal proof of the tenant's intention to terminate and protects both parties' rights under Belgian law.
