The City of Gibraltar requires owners to register rental units, obtain a rental license and hold a certificate of compliance before a unit is occupied.
- Registration: Required before occupancy. Covers rented single-family homes, two-family dwellings, multifamily dwellings, apartment buildings, condos and manufactured homes. Owner-occupied single-family homes with no rooms rented are excluded.
- Inspection cycle: Rental dwellings are subject to inspection at least once every 36 months. Registration and the certificate of compliance run for three years.
- Certificate: No one may lease or occupy a rental unit until it is registered, inspected and issued a valid certificate of compliance.
- Local agent: Owners must designate a responsible local agent.
