When you have a non defining relative clause. eg

Jacks house, which has been on the market for years, has just been sold.

In this sentence the words between the commas are called a non defining relative clause. The clause gives extra (but not essential) information about the subject. The relative clause can be omitted. If the non defining clause is omitted the sentence will still make sense.

When you have a defining clause no commas are used and the clause gives essential information to identify who or what you are talking about.

The house which I showed you last week has just been painted
