The three-times-rent rule holds: Council of State clarifies tenant selection
Can a landlord refuse a prospective tenant because their income is less than three times the rent? This question has been central to the debate on discrimination in the rental market for several years. In a judgment of 30 March 2026, the Council of State expressly addressed this so-called “three-times-rent rule” for the first time. The judgment provides important clarification for landlords, real estate investors and real estate agents. The Council of State does not hold that the three-times-rent rule is automatically permissible in all circumstances. It does, however, consider that an income requirement equal to three times the rent and charges is not, in itself, disproportionate and therefore cannot, without more, be regarded as prohibited discrimination on the basis of wealth.

Access to the housing market in Belgium has been under increasing pressure for some time. Sale prices continue to rise, rental prices are following the same trend, and significant additional costs are often incurred on top of these amounts. One such cost is the commission charged by real estate agents, for which no statutory maximum currently exists.
