This has been in the air since last August and the decision of Flanders and Wallonia to allow, from October 1, the indexation of housing rents, even those whose PEB was very bad. Until then, the Brussels region was the only one not to have made a decision. At the end of August, the office of the Secretary of State in charge, Nawal Ben Hamou (PS), said that discussions were underway.
So the discussions took place. And despite the call from several associations to continue freezing indexation, all Brussels landlords will be able to index their rents once more from October 14. According to the Echothe Brussels parliament will still be seized, like Wallonia, of a proposed ordinance to prevent carrying out double catch-up indexing.
According to the newspaper, there was no consensus in the Brussels government to extend the measure as desired by the Secretary of State for Housing. This system, activated in the context of the energy crisis, has prevented, since October 13, the rent of energy-intensive properties from being indexed. The outright ban concerned housing with a PEB G or F. Those with a PEB E can be, but up to 50%. According to L’Echo, DéFI and Open Vld had clearly positioned themselves once morest an extension, on the grounds that the measure was exceptional and that the two other Regions have already decided to lift the indexation freeze. Only Écolo had left the door ajar.
