● Leases

What a lease must contain

The mandatory mentions, the clauses that are void, and the two deadlines that cost the most when they are missed.

Mandatory

In every lease, in all three regions

The parties and the property

Full identity of each party, precise designation of the property and of what comes with it: cellar, parking, garden.

Rent, charges, and how they are shared

The amount, what the charges cover, whether they are a fixed sum or settled on actual costs, and how they are reviewed.

Duration and start date

The date the lease takes effect is what sets the anniversary, and therefore every indexation for the next nine years.

The energy certificate

Its rating must appear, and since 2022 it decides whether the rent can be indexed at all.

Deadlines

The two that cost the most

2 months

Registering the lease

Free, and the landlord’s obligation. Miss it and the tenant may leave with one month’s notice in Flanders, and none at all in Brussels or Wallonia.

1 year

Asking for the indexation

It is never automatic and never retroactive. A year you do not ask for is a year you do not get back.

We do not hand out lease templates. A template downloaded from a website is a template nobody keeps up to date, and an incomplete lease costs the landlord who used it. Proporio generates the lease for the region the property is in, with the clauses that apply on the day you write it.
