Rent indexation for private landlords

Do you let one or a few properties privately? Find out how automatic indexation saves you time, prevents mistakes and protects your rental income against inflation.

Why index as a private landlord?

For a private landlord, rental income is often an important supplement to a pension or salary. Yet many private landlords forget to index their rent, or put it off because they find the conversation awkward. The result: year after year you lose purchasing power while your costs — maintenance, insurance, property tax — keep rising. Indexation is both your legal right and a financial necessity.

No hassle, no confrontation

Many private landlords have a personal relationship with their tenant and would rather not disturb it by asking for an increase themselves. With Verhuurindex.be that barrier disappears. The indexation letter is sent by a neutral third party: professional, objective and without an uncomfortable conversation. It is no longer the landlord asking, but a legal calculation being applied.

Ideal for 1 to 5 leases

Our platform is perfectly suited to private landlords with a limited number of properties. You pay per lease per year — no subscription, no fixed costs when you have no active leases. For 30 euro a year we handle the full indexation: calculation, letter and dispatch.

Never miss a deadline again

With several leases on different anniversary dates, an indexation is easily forgotten. Our platform tracks every date and carries out the indexation automatically at the right moment. You receive a copy of every letter sent and keep an overview through your dashboard.

The energy certificate is taken into account

Do you let a home in Flanders? The energy certificate may then affect the indexation. Since the decree of 4 July 2023, a permanent correction factor applies to residential leases that took effect before 1 October 2022 with label D, E or F, or without a valid EPC. Labels A, B and C index in full. Brussels has a comparable arrangement for labels E, F and G on leases predating 14 October 2022. In Wallonia the restriction has definitively ended. Our platform calculates the correct factor automatically.

Also for garages, cellars and parking spaces

Do you also let a garage, parking space or storage room alongside your home? These can be indexed separately. EPC restrictions do not apply to garages, since they are not residential leases. Our platform supports every type of property.

Protect your investment

For many private individuals, property is a significant investment, often intended to supplement a pension. By indexing consistently you protect the value of your rental income against inflation. A 3% indexation on a rent of 750 euro brings you 270 euro extra per year — and that amount recurs every year.
