Hi,
We moved to Belgium last year and we are on a one year contract at our current apartment in Flanders. The contract is ending in 3 months and tomorrow is the last day that either party can give notice. Just a couple of hours ago, our landlord sent us a document to extend the contract by 1 year while we expected a 9 year contract based on the conversations we had had with him.
We are very unhappy with this, so we are wondering what would happen if we don't sign the 1-year extension. What sort of notice would the landlord have to provide us? What are the possible options for us to receive a 9-year contract instead? (We just want to be on a stable contract and not go through this again next year, so we are really unhappy with the 1-year extension that the landlord proposed at the last minute.)
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
