🇱🇺 Local law notes — Luxembourg
Women-only residences in Luxembourg operate under the ordinary residential lease law (loi du 21 septembre 2006, reformed 1 August 2024): two-month deposit cap, mandatory entry inventory, once-a-year indexation, and three-month tenant / six-month landlord notice. Single-sex operation must be reconciled with the equal-treatment law (loi du 28 novembre 2006), enforced by the Centre pour l'égalité de traitement; a consistently applied, proportionate policy grounded in privacy and safety is the safer footing. If any care or support services are offered, the operator should check whether social-sector authorisation (agrément) is triggered.
Inside the document
1. Parties and Nature of Occupancy
Identifies the operator and the resident, and records that the residence is operated as women-only accommodation. States whether the resident has a private room with shared communal areas, and the room number/description.
2. Women-Only Character and Legal Basis
States that occupancy is reserved to women as a considered feature of the accommodation, intended to provide privacy, dignity and safety. The operator applies this policy consistently and in good faith; it should be documented as a genuine and proportionate arrangement, mindful of the equal-treatment principles under the loi du 28 novembre 2006 overseen by the Centre pour l'égalité de traitement (CET).
3. Term, Fees and Included Services
Sets the term and the monthly fee, separating base rent from charges. Lists included services (utilities, Wi-Fi, housekeeping of common areas, laundry, etc.). Fees may be indexed only once per year to the cost-of-living index.
4. Security Deposit
Deposit capped at two months' base rent excluding charges (statutory cap since 1 August 2024). Refund follows the statutory timeline: 50% within one month of the exit inventory and the balance within one month of the final charges statement.
5. Safety and Security Arrangements
Describes access control (keyed/coded entry, individual room locks), CCTV in common areas where present, lighting, and any curfew or gate policy. The resident must not share keys or entry codes or admit unauthorised persons.
6. Shared Facilities and Housekeeping
Covers kitchen, bathrooms, lounge and laundry use, cleaning rotas, respect for shared equipment, and reporting of faults. Damage to shared facilities caused by a resident is chargeable to her.
7. Visitor and Overnight-Guest Policy
Sets visiting hours and whether visitors are allowed in private rooms or common areas only. Overnight guests are restricted or prohibited consistent with the women-only character; the resident remains responsible for her visitors' conduct.
8. Conduct, Anti-Harassment and Safeguarding
Prohibits harassment, discrimination, threatening behaviour and any conduct compromising others' safety. Sets a clear escalation and reporting route, and states that serious breaches are grounds for termination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is women-only accommodation lawful in Luxembourg?
Luxembourg's equal-treatment law (loi du 28 novembre 2006) prohibits sex discrimination in access to goods and services, but genuine, proportionate single-sex accommodation offered for privacy, dignity and safety is generally accepted in practice. Operators should apply the policy consistently and be able to justify it; the Centre pour l'égalité de traitement (CET) is the reference body.
How much deposit can a women's co-living charge?
No more than two months' base rent excluding charges, following the 1 August 2024 residential lease reform. Refunds follow the statutory split of 50% after the exit inventory and the balance after the final charges statement.
Can the operator include services like housekeeping and Wi-Fi in the fee?
Yes, but the agreement should itemise which services are included and which are billed as charges (avances sur charges), since rent and charges are treated separately and only rent is indexed once a year.
