Landlords and Tenants Encouraged to Participate in Rental Housing Survey

The Government of Dominica, through the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, has launched a Rental Housing Survey beginning November 24, 2025.

The survey targets both landlords and tenants and is designed to gather critical data

that will inform the establishment and operations of the forthcoming Tenancy and Rent

Commission.

In the 2024–2025 National Budget Address, the Government committed to creating the Tenancy and Rent Commission as part of its pledge to strengthen the housing sector.

The Commission will play a central role in providing stronger protections for both

landlords and tenants, preventing exploitation, and ensuring access to safe, secure, and

affordable housing across the country.

The information collected through this survey will guide the Commission in addressing

key challenges within the rental housing market. These include improving protections

for landlords and tenants, setting and enforcing housing standards, and promoting a

fair, transparent, and equitable rental environment.

The survey questionnaires are available on the official Government of Dominica

website:

The Ministry encourages all landlords and tenants to participate in this important

national exercise. Your input is vital to shaping a modern, fair, and balanced rental

housing system for Dominica.
