Once a year, on the anniversary

Indexation may be applied once per year, on the anniversary of the lease taking effect.

Only three months are recoverable

The request is not retroactive beyond three months, every month before that is permanently lost.

The energy rating can cancel it

In all three regions, a lease from before autumn 2022 with a poor energy rating keeps a correction factor from the 2022-2023 freeze: Brussels (PEB E-G, before 14/10/2022), Flanders (EPC D-F, before 01/10/2022), Wallonia (PEB D-G, before 01/11/2022), computed automatically above.

Questions, answered

Where do these figures come from?
The health index is Statbel’s official series, refreshed automatically inside Proporio. The Brussels PEB correction factor is re-entered from the official be.brussels table whenever it is republished. The Flemish and Walloon factors are computed from the health index of the 2022-2023 freeze year, as their decrees define them (Flemish decree of 3 October 2022, art. 4; Walloon decree of 19 October 2022).
What about Flanders and Wallonia?
Both froze or capped the indexation of energy-poor dwellings for one lease year (Flanders 01/10/2022, 30/09/2023: EPC D at 50 %, E/F at 0 %; Wallonia 01/11/2022, 31/10/2023: PEB D at 75 %, E at 50 %, F/G at 0 %) and forbid catching up afterwards. For a lease in force before those dates, the tool applies the resulting correction factor to every later indexation. New leases, and labels A to C, are indexed in full.
Must I notify the tenant?
Yes. Indexation is not automatic on the tenant’s side: you have to ask for it in writing, and it only takes effect from that request, that is exactly the letter this tool emails you.
