Document background
The Leasehold Contract is a fundamental legal instrument in Belgian property law, used to establish and regulate the relationship between property owners and tenants. This document is essential for both residential and commercial property leases in Belgium, requiring compliance with federal legislation (Belgian Civil Code) and regional regulations specific to Brussels-Capital, Flanders, or Wallonia. The contract must address mandatory elements including detailed property description, rent terms, indexation provisions, maintenance responsibilities, and security deposit arrangements. It must be accompanied by specific documentation such as the energy performance certificate and property inventory (茅tat des lieux/plaatsbeschrijving). The agreement requires official registration with Belgian tax authorities and must incorporate protective measures for both parties as prescribed by Belgian housing legislation.
