Document background
This Rental Contract template is designed for use in Belgium for residential property leases, incorporating requirements from both federal legislation and regional housing codes. It serves as a comprehensive legal framework for residential tenancies, typically used when establishing new rental relationships or formalizing existing ones. The document includes mandatory provisions required by Belgian law, such as specific clauses about security deposits, registration obligations, and maintenance responsibilities. It's structured to accommodate the standard 9-year lease term common in Belgium, while also allowing for short-term or long-term variations as permitted by law. The contract ensures compliance with recent housing regulations, including energy performance requirements and anti-discrimination provisions, while protecting both landlord and tenant interests under Belgian jurisdiction.
