Since 1 March 2026, someone who lives in a home they don't own is treated as an investor: income no longer matters, and only a heat pump or heat pump boiler qualifies. Insulation and glazing no longer get a premium for tenants. Use the simulator on vlaanderen.be before you plan anything.
This is rare in practice, because a heat pump is a major work that changes the landlord's property, so you need the landlord's written agreement first. No citation
