An Eviction Notice in Belgium is a formal legal document that landlords must send to tenants when they want to end a rental agreement and reclaim their property. Under Belgian housing law, this notice (known locally as "congé" in French or "opzegging" in Dutch) needs to follow strict rules about timing and delivery methods.

The notice must state clear reasons for eviction, the exact move-out date, and respect legal notice periods - typically 3 months for short-term leases and 6 months for standard leases. Landlords can only evict for specific reasons like personal occupation, major renovations, or serious tenant breaches. The document must be sent by registered mail or delivered by a bailiff to be legally valid.

Landlords need to send an Eviction Notice when they have valid grounds to end a tenancy under Belgian law. Common situations include plans to personally occupy the property, major renovation works that make occupancy impossible, or serious breaches of the rental agreement by the tenant - like persistent non-payment of rent or causing significant property damage.

The timing of the notice matters greatly. For example, when planning personal occupation, landlords must send it at least 6 months before the intended move-in date for standard leases. For urgent situations like severe tenant misconduct, shorter notice periods apply, but proper documentation of the violations becomes crucial. Early preparation helps avoid legal challenges and ensures compliance with Belgian housing regulations.

People often mix up an Eviction Notice with a Lease Termination Notice, but they serve different purposes in Belgian tenancy law. While both deal with ending rental arrangements, they have important distinctions in their application and legal consequences.

• Legal Force: An Eviction Notice is a stronger legal instrument that forces tenants to leave, often due to violations or urgent landlord needs. A Lease Termination Notice simply ends the agreement under normal circumstances
• Timing Requirements: Eviction Notices may have shorter notice periods in cases of serious breaches, while Lease Terminations must follow standard notice periods
• Required Documentation: Eviction Notices need specific evidence of grounds for eviction, while Lease Terminations typically only require basic contract details
• Legal Consequences: Eviction Notices can lead to forced removal through court action, while Lease Terminations rely on mutual compliance
