What is a certificate of conformity, and when is it required?

A certificate of compliance is a document that certifies that a rental property meets the minimum housing quality standards. In some municipalities, such as Ghent, it is mandatory when entering into a new lease for homes older than 30 years. For this, you will also always need an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) as well as an electrical inspection. You can also request these through Certihome.be.
