What is the MyKotmodel contract?
Brik and PLE created a new 2023 MyKotmodel contract largely inspired by the Brussels student housing rental agreement. But it deviates from it on a few points. In doing so, Brik and PLE aim to ensure affordability, provide clarity on contracts that expire and maintain the balance between the landlord and the student tenant.
This model contract is a reference document, but mandatory for all users of MyKot. However, some provisions are not essential, so deviations are possible. Be sure to contact Brik or PLE before making any changes.
MyKot is the Brussels room locator where you can only rent rooms that comply with all regulations. As a landlord, you first register on MyKot. Brik and PLE then check the quality of the rooms. If they meet the regulations, they are offered through MyKot and Brik and PLE are responsible for any mediation between the landlord and the student tenant.
