The House Contract serves as the primary legal document for residential property rentals in Belgium, regulated under both federal Belgian law and regional regulations. This agreement is essential for establishing the legal relationship between landlords and tenants, detailing their respective rights and obligations. It must incorporate specific Belgian legal requirements including mandatory provisions about lease duration (typically 3 or 9 years), rent indexation, property maintenance, and security deposits. The document requires official registration and must include certain mandatory attachments such as an energy performance certificate and detailed property inventory. This type of contract is subject to strict consumer protection regulations and housing quality standards that vary by region (Brussels-Capital, Flanders, or Wallonia). The House Contract should be drafted to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws, insurance requirements, and regional housing codes while protecting the interests of all parties involved.
