KNOW YOUR QUALLIES

Entitled

Entitled status individuals can rent any residential property in Jersey.

​

Licensed

Licensed individuals can rent any residential property in Jersey other than those with first time buyer restrictions or social rented housing as long as they retain their Licensed status.

​

Registered

Registered individuals are restricted to renting Registered category property only.  Unless the individual is awarded Licensed status by their employer, they will need to be permanently resident in Jersey for 10 consecutive years before they will gain Entitled status.

​

Entitled to Work

BEWARE! Entitled to Work status is equivalent to Registered status.  It indicates the individual has been permanently resident in Jersey for a consecutive period of more than 5 years but less than 10 years. An Entitled to Work individual may only rent a Registered category property only.
