Document background
The Rent Increase Letter To Tenant is a crucial document in Belgian residential property management, used when landlords or property managers need to implement a legally permitted rent increase. This document must strictly adhere to Belgian housing law, which requires rent adjustments to be calculated using the official health index method. The letter serves as formal notification and must be sent within specific timeframes, varying by region (Brussels-Capital, Flanders, or Wallonia). It includes essential elements such as the current rent, calculation method, new rent amount, and effective date. The document ensures compliance with tenant protection laws while maintaining transparency in the rental relationship. It's particularly important as improper notification or calculation can invalidate the proposed increase under Belgian law.
