Proposal for stricter checks on foreign property owned by Brussels social tenants

Official title: Voorstel van resolutie betreffende de integrale en kordate aanpak van fraude in de Brusselse sociale huisvesting door middel van proactieve, doelgerichte en grensoverschrijdende vermogenscontroles.

Status: The proposal has been submitted and is waiting to be considered by parliament. (parliament: ‘Tabled’)

In plain language

  • The proposal aims to actively check whether Brussels social tenants own foreign property, using a central anti-fraud unit and specialized investigation firms.
  • This measure affects current social housing tenants and applicants in the Brussels-Capital Region, as well as social housing corporations.
  • If you rent a social home while owning real estate elsewhere, you risk losing the home and having to repay any undue rent discounts.
