At Coastal Host Jersey, we specialise in managing short-term rentals, ensuring a seamless experience for both property owners and guests. Before we can assist you, it's essential to ensure your property complies with Jersey's regulations for short-term letting.
-
As of 1 April 2024, Jersey property owners can let out their property (or a part of it) as short-term holiday lets for up to 12 weeks in each calendar year without needing planning permission. However, certain conditions apply:
Usage Limit: The property can be used for short-term holiday lets for a combined total of no more than 12 weeks per calendar year.
Leisure Purpose: The accommodation is for leisure purposes only and cannot be used as a main dwelling during those 12 weeks.
Multiple Visitors: The 12-week limit covers the total combination of visitors, not per individual guest.
If you wish to let your property for more than 12 weeks annually, you must obtain planning permission for a change of use.

Before proceeding, please ensure:
Title Restrictions: If your property is a share transfer or flying freehold apartment, verify that there are no restrictions on short-term lettings in the articles of association or co-ownership declarations.
Assisted Buyer Schemes: If you purchased your home through an assisted buyer scheme, check the scheme documents for any prohibitions on leasing or sharing occupation.
Mortgage Terms: Review your mortgage agreement to confirm that short-term letting is permitted or if lender consent is required.
Lease Agreements: If you rent your property, ensure your lease allows subletting or short-term rentals, and obtain landlord consent if necessary.
Insurance Policies: Inform your home and contents insurer about your intention to host paying guests to ensure coverage remains valid.
Failure to comply with these conditions may result in legal or financial consequences.
