You are about to begin the process of registering for AIS.
This form must be completed in full. Here is also a list of all the compulsory documents that must be provided for the registration to be complete:
Mandatory documents
- Address history of adults in the household ;
- Household composition ;
- Proof of income ;
- Copies of the identity cards of the adults in the household ;
- Proof of last 3 months’ rent ;
- Proof and amounts of family allowances and alimony.
Please note that if we do not receive all documents, we will unfortunately be unable to process your registration.
Once your application is complete (with no missing documents), please contact us by e-mail or telephone to arrange a meeting at the office to hand in your application. We will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.
We would like to point out, however, that unfortunately we don’t work on an emergency basis. As we rent out private accommodation, we are dependent on the owners and the properties we are given to manage. But we’ll be sure to contact you for a visit as soon as we have a property that meets your requirements.
Why join an AIS?
Because renting a home can quickly become a real headache… but not with an AIS by your side! Here’s why it’s a great idea:
- The AIS is like a translator between you and the owner.
- All the accommodation managed by AIS complies with health and safety regulations.
- Rent? Softer on your wallet than in the private sector.
- The AIS social worker is your personal coach for living well in your home.
- housing. And if there’s a problem that goes beyond the rental property, there’s always a plan B (or C).
- A technical problem? AIS is here to help.
- And the icing on the cake: we accept rental guarantees via the CPAS.
Access conditions :
- Not be a property owner
- To benefit from the services of an AIS, you must meet certain income conditions.
For the annual income ceiling (see AER) :
Any household with a precarious (category 1), modest (category 2) or average (category 3) income can apply to an AIS for housing.
- Income is precarious (category 1) if annual net taxable income does not exceed €17,000/year for a tenant and €23,200/year for a household. Increase for dependent children €3,200
- Income is modest (category 2) if annual net taxable income does not exceed €34,100/year for a tenant and €42,600/year for a household. Increase for dependent children €3,200
- Average income (category 3) if annual net taxable income does not exceed €69,800/year for a tenant and €85,100/year for a household. Increase for dependent children €3,200
These amounts are subject to indexation.
Interested?
You can fill in your application directly online here, but don’t panic if the internet isn’t your thing: paper versions are available on the first floor of La Sambrienne. (Boulevard Jacques Bertrand 48, 6000 Charleroi).
A gentle but important reminder:
Your registration will only be taken into account if your application is complete and accompanied by all documents. Yes, complete-complete – not just “almost done” or “I’ll send it tomorrow, I promise”.
What about housing?
We’d love to be able to give you a precise date… The deadline depends on several things: available housing, your personal situation, and your place on the waiting list. Be patient, we won’t forget you!
Every 6 months, remember to renew your registration (yes, it’s a bit like changing the battery in your fire detector). And above all, keep us informed of any changes: new number, new address, new family composition (baby, roommate, official cat…).
