We provide high-quality housing for tenants throughout Shetland. Whether you’re looking for your first home, would like to transfer to a different one or are thinking about buying or renting privately, this website has lots of helpful information. You can find out about your housing options and, if you want to apply for a Hjaltland house, we explain how to go about it.
You can also find other kinds of information and advice here. For example, we outline our repair procedures, offer tips on saving energy and discuss the need for insurance. There are links to other useful sites, too.
We aim to offer an excellent service. We involve tenants in our decisions and we’re keen to hear your views. There are several ways to get in touch with us.
Find details of our allocation policy, and learn how to apply.
Find out if a needed repair is covered by the Right to Repair scheme or classed as an emergency.
Find helpful advice on how to pay for rent and how to set up a direct debit.
If you’re unhappy with any aspect of the service we provide, we want to know. Sometimes, of course, there may simply be a misunderstanding, but the sooner it’s resolved, the better.
I just wanted to tell you about Bryan and the fantastic job he has done at my dad's today! I'm extremely impressed and there's not one spec of dirt left behind him! He was friendly and professional (even entertained my two year old who was trying to help him!) Well done and thanks a million!

Larry is a very good worker, never stops.
Tenant satisfied with repair
The property has made a huge difference in all aspects of caring for our children with disabilities. It has made life much easier as we have wheelchair access to all areas and no longer have to lift the children around the house. Thank you very much for all the effort and hard work. It has all been worth it.
Tenants response to our new development survey
"The workmen were helpful, tidy and as non-disruptive as possible. Cheerfully working in all weathers and clearing the site of any bruck or debris (not that there was much) every day at close of work=4 Stars"
