What is the amount that can be obtained for a rental guarantee
The amount of the maximum rental guarantee payable by the lessor differs according to the Belgian regions. In recent years, each region has implemented its own regulations which legally overlap with the federal rules set by the law on rents.
Brussels and Wallonia have defined their own rules concerning residential leases and the amount of the rental guarantee in 2018. Flanders legally defined its own rules on housing rental in 2019.
The main difference between the regional rules concerns the maximum amount payable by the lessor in the case of a rental guarantee constituted on a blocked bank account:
As part of a rental guarantee in Brussels, the lessor can demand a maximum blocked amount of 2 months rent;
Regarding a rental guarantee in Wallonia, the rule also defines the maximum amount payable at 2 months’ rent;
It is for the rental guarantee in Flanders that the federal rules have changed the most, the lessor can demand up to 3 months of rent since January 1, 2020.
In the context of a bank guarantee, the historical federal rules have not changed, the amount of the rental guarantee is 3 months’ rent for the rented property, regardless of the region of Belgium where the property is located.
