Renting and letting ·
Co-housing (shared living) is allowed in Belgium and in Leuven, but there are conditions for the residents, the tenancy agreement and the property.
In Belgium, co-housing, also known as shared living (samenhuizen), is permitted and recognised as a legitimate form of housing.
So it is allowed in Leuven too.
However, there are some conditions and rules that must be met for co-housing to be legal.
These conditions relate to the residents, the tenancy agreement and the property itself.
For more information, see the City of Leuven’s guidance on co-housing in Leuven.
