Removing a property from the housing stock
As a homeowner, you can withdraw your home from the housing stock. The home is then no longer suitable to be lived in by the same number of people. You can withdraw a home in the following ways:
- You want to use a home for something else, for example as an office.
- You want to merge 2 homes together.
- You want to demolish a home.
- You want to use a home for room rental.
Do you want to change a home in one of these ways and does it concern a home that has a rent below the rent liberalisation threshold? In that case, pursuant to article 21 of the Housing Act, you must apply for a withdrawal licence from the municipality.
What to do?
- You can apply for the “ licence ” at city hall.
- Sometimes you also need an environmental licence. For example, when you are going to renovate the home. If you do not yet have an environmental licence, you can also apply for it directly.
What do I need?
