“Will the Minister provide details of the processes in place to ensure that all accommodations that should be registered as a lodging house under the Lodging houses (Registration) (Jersey) law 1962 are correctly registered, and that they are also regulated in accordance with the Lodging Houses (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 1962; and will the Minister further advise whether he is confident that all relevant accommodation is registered, and if not, why not?”

All properties registered under the Lodging Houses (Registration) (Jersey) Law 1962 are subject to an annual re-registration process. Every application for renewal of registration must be made in the month of December.
The collation, registration and determination of what accommodation should be on the registration is a matter for the Population Office.
The register data is shared with the Housing and Nuisance team within Regulation who undertake property inspections to regulate on minimum standards.
