The information is info available to the Flemish Government. The property owner himself can add documents to the Flemish Housing Pass.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The housing pass facilitates administration when building, remodeling, selling and renting the property. In addition, the housing pass also increases transparency in the real estate industry. Finally, it allows us to improve housing quality together.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which buildings does the housing pass apply to?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Flemish Housing Pass applies to all residential buildings. This includes housing such as row houses, detached houses, semi-detached houses, villas, bungalows, apartments, studios, student housing, senior housing, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Flemish Housing Pass does not apply to non-residential buildings such as offices, factories, stores, industrial and agricultural properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For non-residential buildings <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appartement.be\/vlaamse-gebouwenpas-alles-wat-je-moet-weten\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Flemish <strong>building pass<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What dates does the Flemish Housing Pass contain?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is automatically information already in the housing pass. The Flemish Government added it for you. The government probably does not have all the information, so you &#8211; as the owner &#8211; can add documents (supporting documents) yourself. See the list below. This information remains permanently attached to the property and is transferable from owner to owner.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data will keep expanding.
