How to rent an apartment in Belgium
The economic conditions, the booking process, the paperwork, and the checkin procedure.
The Rental Process
From application to check-in, here's how it works
Submit your application
Get in touch with us and one of our rental agents will get in touch with you to start the process. Make sure you fully understand the economic conditions correctly to avoid surprises.
Present the paperwork
Send the necessary documentation to your dedicated rental agent. Once your application is approved you will receive a booking confirmation or a (proforma) invoice.
Make the payment
Proceed to the payment of the first (proforma) invoice. Your booking is now pre-confirmed, and you are almost ready to pack your bags.
Sign the rental contract
Your rental agent will send you the rental contract. Once you have signed the contract your reservation is confirmed.
Wait for checkin instructions
Once you have signed the rental contract we start preparing your apartment. A few days before your arrival we get in touch with you with the practical arrangements.
