Introduction

Navigating the rental market in Jersey can be straightforward with the right approach. This guide from Connections Accommodation Agency helps prospective tenants understand key steps in securing a desirable rental property.

1. Budgeting

Determine your rental budget, including utility costs and potential security deposits. Stick to properties within this range to ensure affordability, and a buffer to save if you plan to buy in future.

2. Location Preferences

Identify preferred areas in Jersey based on work, lifestyle, and access to amenities. Consider transport links and local facilities.

3. Property Search

Utilize online portals, local listings, and Connections’ resources to find properties that match your criteria.

4. Visit Properties

Schedule viewings to assess properties first-hand. Pay attention to space, condition, safety features, and neighbourhood.

5. Rental Application

Prepare necessary documents for rental applications, including identification, proof of income, and references.

6. Lease Agreement Review

Carefully review the lease agreement. Understand terms regarding rent, deposit, maintenance responsibilities, and lease duration.

7. Deposit and Rent

Be ready to pay the security deposit and first month’s rent. Understand the terms for deposit return at the end of your tenancy.

8. Moving Arrangements

Plan your move, considering logistics like hiring movers, packing, and notifying relevant parties of your address change.

9. Inventory Check

Upon moving in, do an inventory check with the landlord or agent. Note any existing damages to ensure you’re not held responsible later.

10. Maintenance Reporting

Know how to report maintenance issues. Keep communication open with your landlord or property management for any concerns.
