Flooring rules change 'positive' for tenants
Published: 8/6/2025

States of Guernsey Housing tenants welcome new flooring rules that eliminate the need to pay for carpets and floors when moving in. Previously, tenants had to cover costs for removing carpets upon moving out unless Housing allowed them to stay, leaving floors bare for new occupants. This change is seen as positive by tenants, like Jill, who had to take out a loan to afford flooring in her States housing 25 years ago, costing around £1,000.
