What is the KBC rental guarantee?
The principle of constituting a rental guarantee has been put in place to protect the owner in the context of breaches by his tenants of the commitments of the rental lease. This guarantee covers the financial risks associated with the rental. It is mentioned in the law on residential leases, but it is not compulsory. However, the rental deposit is required in most residential leases. To find out if your lease contract is subject to a rental guarantee, all you need to do is read it and find out how the tenant’s commitments are guaranteed.
The law provides that the rental deposit can be provided by blocking the sum of money in an individual bank account. KBC bank offers this service in Belgium for opening a dedicated bank account for the rental guarantee. The individualized account opened with the KBC bank to house the amount of the guarantee is in the name of the tenant. It will be blocked until the end of the lease or until the prior agreement of the two tenant / lessor parties to release the rental guarantee with the KBC bank.
Early release of the KBC rental guarantee
