Renting out homes

Landlordsflatshousesrooms

In Jersey every rented home needs its own licence — and its own electrical, gas and smoke alarm checks.

  1. 01

    Every unit you rent needs a Rented Dwelling Licence: £61.50, valid for two years. Renting without one has been an offence since 1 August 2024, and the property may be inspected first.

  2. 02

    An electrical installation condition report by a competent engineer, valid five years; a gas safety inspection every year by an engineer on the Gas Safe Register, wherever there is a gas supply; and a smoke alarm to EN14604 on every storey.
