Background

How does rent indexation work?

In Flanders, a landlord may adjust the rent each year to the evolution of the Belgian health index. The calculation is based on a fixed formula and can be influenced by the property's EPC label.

Indexed rent = Base rent × (Reference index / Starting index)
