Sorry I do not understand the question at all.
Children do not rent generally and landlords sign contracts with adults, some landlords put into contracts that the maximum number of occupants in a residence can be X number of people, is that what you mean?
Have you have trouble with landlords or estate agents making derogatory remarks about children? I did once have an estate agent tell me she would not let me see a house because there were 3 bedrooms and she considered I needed at least 4 bedrooms!!!! I thought it wasn't an estate agent's business to tell me that, she lost my business and I found somewhere perfect.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, i will clarify my question now. I am having two kids and my wife in India.

If i have to apply for Visa for Brussels, i have to submit the rental contract. For that is there any specifications ( like one bed room or Two bed room) required for rental contract as per norms for applying Visa.

Hope I am clear.

Thanks,
Ram

No, there's no such (official) specification. However if your children bark loudly during the night they might disturb the neighbours which could be a problem. Sorry, just joking. Good luck with the kids and finding somewhere suitable.

Hi Ram,

There are some official rules for that

- Order of the Walloon Government determining the minimum standards of sanitation, overcrowding and criteria relating to the definitions referred to in Article 1, 19 ° to 22 ° bis, of the Walloon Housing Code

Calculation of habitable area:
The living area is the area measured between the inner walls of living rooms multiplied by a coefficient of height and a lighting ratio.
The coefficients of height and lighting are equal to 1 if the standards are met (the required height ceiling and a glazing area of ​​at least 1/14 - 1/12 new home - the floor area in case of vertical glazing and / or 1/16 - 1/14 new home - in case of roof glazing). If standards are not met, the coefficients will be less than 1. For the calculation of the coefficients, making refer to in the Article 2.3 and 4 of the Decree of the Walloon Government of 30 August 2007 determining the minimum standards of sanitation, overcrowding and criteria relating to the definitions referred to in Article 1, 19 ° to 22 ° bis, Housing Walloon Code .
Do not count: the halls, clearances, bathrooms, toilet, storage, cellars, attics, garages, parts which have no natural light intake, buried coins over 1 m. below the adjacent land and parts of a width of 1.5 m.

1.     where individual housing
    15 m² for 1 person (24 m² when creating a new home after 1/1/2008);
         28 m² for 2 people;
The accommodation must include at least living space of 10 m² if it is occupied by one person and at least one living space of 15 m² if occupied by 2 people.

Brussels is NOT in Wallonia, it is a separate region, so above post is relevant for Wallonia and not Brussels I guess.
