The Guernsey Private Residential Landlords Association (the “GPRLA”) was founded in 2006 so celebrated its 10th Anniversary in 2016 and is now into its 16th year. During this time the association has built up the services on offer to both the landlords and tenants. We now have over 280 landlord members and 11 associate letting agent members. The aim of the GPRLA is to represent, develop the interests of and improve the standing of private residential landlords in Guernsey. Another aim is for the Guernsey Private Residential Landlords Association to promote the establishment and maintenance of good standards of practice by the landlords. We expect this of all who join our membership, as stated in our constitution.
