Moving into or out of a property in Jamaica can bring both excitement and challenges, but proper planning makes the process much easier.
Moving In Day
At the start of your tenancy, an inventory check-in is typically conducted by a professional chosen by the landlord or agent. This check-in should cover the condition of all items in the property, meter readings, and the number of keys handed over. If no inventory is done, request that your landlord or agent arranges one. It’s a good idea to keep a copy of your tenancy agreement for reference. Setting up automatic rent payments can also help avoid missing payments.
Council Tax and Exemptions
Full-time students in Jamaica are generally exempt from council tax but must provide exemption certificates to the local council. If you’re living with part-time students, keep in mind that they are still liable for council tax, which could create confusion about who is responsible for the payments.
