Rent indexation in Brussels, March 2024
Your lease has its anniversary in March 2024? Here is the health index to use, the formula, and what Brussels adds on top.
Which index for an anniversary in March 2024
Belgian law (Civil Code art. 1728bis) reads the health index of the month BEFORE the anniversary: for March 2024, that is February 2024. The starting index is the one of the month before the lease was signed.
No intermediate rounding: the ratio is applied in full, then the result is rounded to the cent.
| Lease signed in | Starting index | Rent from March 2024 | Since signature |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 2023 | 126.86 (February 2023) | €1,032.24 | +3.22 % |
| March 2022 | 118.74 (February 2022) | €1,102.83 | +10.28 % |
| March 2021 | 110.39 (February 2021) | €1,186.25 | +18.62 % |
| March 2020 | 109.87 (February 2020) | €1,191.86 | +19.19 % |
| March 2019 | 108.78 (February 2019) | €1,203.81 | +20.38 % |
Before any regional correction. A lease indexed every year lands on the same figure whatever the path: the ratio always runs from the starting index.
What Brussels adds
Housing is regional. Three regions, three answers to the same question: does a poor energy certificate still weigh on the indexation of an older lease?
The indexed rent is multiplied by the official correction factor the Region publishes for the anniversary month, one row per month, one column for E, one for F/G (Code bruxellois du Logement, art. 224/2). The calculator carries the current table. Since 1 January 2025 the lease must also be registered with Bruxelles Logement, or no indexation is due at all.
Indexed in full, on the formula above. The only conditions left are the national ones: a registered lease, a certificate handed to the tenant, a written request.
Indexation is never automatic: it applies from your written request, and reaches back at most three months. An anniversary in March 2024 claimed late leaves money on the table for good.
An unregistered lease cannot be indexed, and neither can one whose tenant never received the energy certificate. Both are checked before the figure in the calculator.
