Student Housing in Brussels

Yes, you can move out earlier if you need to, but you remain responsible for paying the rent until the official end date of your contract. Your rental agreement is fixed for the full duration, so moving out does not shorten or cancel the financial commitment.
If your situation changes, feel free to contact the residence team — they can advise you on available options or next steps, but the contractual rent obligation remains in place.

It’s your responsibility to keep your payments up to date. If a payment fails, please contact our team so we can help you resolve the issue as soon as possible.

If you follow the detailed check-in and move‑in procedure ( sent to you a couple of weeks before the lease start), our local team will be available to assist you during regular office hours.

In general, moving in before your official contract start date is not possible. Your room will only be available from the date stated in your lease agreement.
If you have a special circumstance and need to request an earlier arrival, please contact your local team. They can check availability and let you know whether an early move‑in can be accommodated, though this is not guaranteed.

Your keys or access details are provided according to the move‑in and check‑in instructions you will receive a few weeks before your lease begins.
If you are unable to arrive in person, it may be possible for someone else to collect your keys on your behalf, but this requires prior approval from the Xior local team.
Please contact your city team in advance so they can advise you on the procedure and confirm whether third‑party key collection is allowed at your property.

No, bedding and kitchen items are not included in the room. You will need to bring your own bedding, towels, cookware, crockery, and cutlery. We have a Xior Webshop to buy all your essential items.

All new tenants will receive detailed move‑in and check‑in instructions a few weeks before the start of their lease agreement. This information will explain how to collect your keys or access credentials, as well as any specific procedures for your building.

You may move in any time during office hours starting from the official start date of your contract. If you expect to arrive outside office hours, please contact the local team in advance to request approval.
You will also receive detailed arrival instructions approximately a few weeks before your tenancy begins.

Parking is available in some of our residences, for an additional fee.
You can check whether parking is offered at your chosen property on the detailpage of our website. If parking is available, it will be clearly listed among the amenities.
If you do not see any information about parking on the website, this means that parking is not available at that particular building.

Yes, bike storage is available in most of our properties. To be sure, please check the amenities section of the specific student accommodation you are interested in.

Yes! Xior regularly organizes community events designed to help residents connect, relax, and make the most of their student experience. Depending on the residence, these may include social gatherings, welcome drinks, cultural activities, sports events, workshops, and seasonal celebrations. All events are created to foster a sense of community and make it easy to meet new people.

Yes! You are welcome to personalise and decorate your room to make it feel like home. Small decorative items such as photos, plants, posters, cushions, or desk accessories are all perfectly fine. We simply ask that any changes are temporary and do not damage walls, furniture, or fixtures. Permanent alterations — such as repainting, drilling, or removing/adding built‑in elements — aren’t allowed.
If you’re unsure whether something is permitted, your local residence team will be happy to help.

No, pets are not allowed.

Yes. You are welcome to have guests, but please be aware that you are responsible for them at all times.

Yes, you can. When you request more information about a property or a specific room, the form will ask you which room category you’re interested in. Once you select a category, you’ll receive a reply with all the available options within that category, so you can choose the exact room or studio you prefer.
There’s also always the option to visit the property in person and view the available rooms—either by booking an appointment or attending an open house day. This gives you the chance to see the spaces firsthand before making your choice.

In Belgium, standard tenancy!! agreements are typically 12‑month contracts. We give priority to these full‑year agreements. However, shorter stays can sometimes be accommodated, depending on availability.
If you’re interested in a shorter term, please reach out to your local team via the contact form on our website.
