🇧🇪 Belgium · Housing
Renting and buying property in Belgium — typical rents, deposits, contracts, and official tenancy rules.
Belgian housing rules are split by region. Private renting, rent support and social housing should be checked against the rules for Flanders, Brussels or Wallonia, while local commune registration affects many services after moving.
- Social housing is a regional responsibility, so eligibility and waiting-list rules are not national.
- Private rental contracts, deposits and inspections should be checked under the region where the home is located.
- Registering an address with the commune is separate from signing a lease.
