Landlords who have paid for a Rented Dwelling Licence, but held a 3*, 4* or 5* rating on the
former Rent Safe scheme, are being reminded that they can still apply for a refund before 30
November 2024.
The Rented Dwelling Licence Scheme launched in May this year, and the Minister for the
Environment, Deputy Steve Luce, pledged to not leave out of pocket, those who had already
achieved Rent Safe accreditation.
The refund scheme is for the full licence fee (£60), and applies only to these first licences, not in
perpetuity. While the law did not allow for the original licence fee to be waived, a system was
swiftly set up to provide refunds to eligible landlords on applicable properties.
Those who have not yet applied for a refund, but are eligible to do so, should email
renteddwellings@gov.je, with copies of their Rented Dwellings Licence certificate for properties
which were inspected under the Rent Safe scheme, for which they would like a refund.
