Is it legal to use a warranty without locking in money?<\/div>\n

Yes, it’s completely legal.<\/strong> Belgian law allows for the use of a recognized professional guarantee agency, such as garantie.be, in lieu of a blocked bank account.<\/p>\n

Since April 2025, tenants have been free to choose their method of rental guarantee. The majority of Belgian landlords and real estate agencies accept garantie.be certificates, which are reliable, traceable, and compliant with the law. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Benefits<\/p>\n

Why choose garantie.be?<\/h2>\n

Setting aside 2 or 3 months’ rent in a bank account for the entire duration of the lease ties up that much money. Our service eliminates this hassle while offering your landlord the same level of protection. <\/p>\n
