Housing Rental Decree for student housing

Housing Rental Decree for student housing

Until recently, the rules for student tenancy agreements were federal jurisdiction. Since the sixth round of the reform of the Belgian state, the power for establishing rules on student tenancy agreements has been devolved to the Regions.

The Flemish Housing Rental Decree applies to all student tenancy agreements concluded from 1 January 2019 for student accommodation in Flanders. The Decree regulates the main aspects of the student tenancy agreement, such as the condition of the let property, the options for giving notice, the transfer of the tenancy agreement and sub-letting, the indexation and providing a rental guarantee.
