P.40/2023 - Rented Dwellings - Licensing

2023

5th June

"In summary, the Regulations would introduce a licensing scheme:
– that applies to all rented dwellings as defined in the Law
– that applies equally, thus achieving a level playing field
– that will come into force on 1 January 2024
– that allows for the granting of a licence without pre-inspection if the application is
made before 31 March 2024 – outside of this period those making a licence
application may be inspected before a licence is issued, subject to a risk-based
approach
– where the licence would be valid for two years."

Improving Residential Tenancies in Jersey White Paper

2023

April

"The rental market in Jersey plays a vital role for our communities in Jersey, providing homes for
Islanders who either cannot afford or do not wish to own a home. Whether someone owns or
rents property, this does not change the fact that these are people’s homes; a place where
someone should feel safe and secure, have privacy, dignity, and certainty for the future."
