Certificate of conformity
Conformity certificate
Awarded on 29 October 2021
This building currently has a valid conformity certificate.
In Ghent, the quality of life and fire safety in student accommodation is monitored through the Flemish Housing Code and the Police Regulations on shared student accommodations.
A certificate of conformity constitutes proof of an inspection with a positive outcome.
Kotatgent wants to promote rooms with a certificate of conformity.
The Supervision Service of the City of Ghent and the fire brigade undertake to check the rooms on Kotatgent for the mandatory safety requirements from the Flemish Housing Code and the Police Regulations for the room apartments. Landlords who advertise on Kotatgent demonstrate the commitment to rent out safe housing.
Landlords can also request a check at the City of Ghent to obtain a certificate of conformity.
In the case of rooms that are not in order, a procedure for unsuitability or uninhabitability can be started. Such a procedure can - if the owner does not comply with the rules - ultimately lead to an effective unsuitability or habitability. All residents are then contacted by a social consultant to view the housing options.
The City is doing everything it can to avoid unsuitable or uninhabitable declarations and to have a procedure lead to a certificate of conformity.
