Drafting lease agreements

Are you a tenant? A landlord?
A lease agreement is usually concluded for a long period of time. It is therefore important to take tomorrow’s needs and risks into account today. A well-drafted contract offers the necessary flexibility and can prevent or resolve unexpected issues.

Vanhoucke Lawyers has many years of experience in drafting and reviewing lease agreements for residential, commercial, and industrial real estate.

Why a solid lease agreement is essential

The rules on tenancy law are complex and regularly change. Case law may also vary greatly depending on the circumstances. That is why it is crucial that a lease agreement not only complies with legal requirements but also protects your interests as tenant or landlord.

We ensure that your contract is both legally sound and practically workable, so you can rent or let with peace of mind.

Disputes and advice in tenancy law

If a conflict does arise, we first look for an amicable solution, especially when there is an ongoing commercial relationship you wish to preserve. If that is not possible, we defend your interests in court.

We handle cases involving, among others:

• termination or renewal of leases,
• eviction,
• rent revision,
• maintenance and repair obligations.

We advise both tenants and landlords in all types of contracts: residential leases, commercial leases, pop-up agreements, or common law leases. When none of these standard forms apply, we work with you to develop a tailor-made solution.
