Main residence lease
The main residence lease is the rental agreement that concerns the main residence of the tenant. To qualify as a principle residence lease, the lease contract must meet three mandatory conditions:
The rental contract must be a residential lease. This means that the tenant declares to live in the rented property;
The tenant must also declare that it is his main residence. So the tenant mainly lives in this dwelling;
The lessor agrees to the main residence assignment of the property.
Being a principal residence rental lease provides several protections for the tenant. Belgian law obliges the lessor to comply with additional rules concerning the rented property concerning the safety, health and conditions of habitability of the rented property. The rules for the duration and extension of the main residence lease are also set by law to protect tenants.
