WQ.210/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 10th OCTOBER 2022
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 17th OCTOBER 2022
Question
Further to the answer to Written Question 166/2022, which detailed the number of existing tenants that have faced rental increases due to refurbishment of Le Marais over the last two years, will the Minister provide the total number of residents expected to be moved onto new and higher rent contracts in the coming year across the entire Andium Homes estate, as well as the mean and the median rent increase they face?
Answer
It is not possible to predict how many existing tenants might move and further how many might experience a rent increase as a consequence.
Andium has no refurbishment projects planned for the next year which will require tenants to relocate.
Andium has natural turnover in its rental stock and some new build projects which will be let within the next 12 months, specifically Cyril Le Marquand Court (formerly Ann Court) and Edinburgh House (La Collette Low Rise). These new homes will be let to applicants on the Affordable Housing Gateway list using Andium’s Choice Based Lettings process. There are of course existing Andium tenants on the Gateway and some of those tenants may wish to move into these new homes or elsewhere in Andium’s portfolio as homes become vacant. That will be their choice, cognisant of any impacts in respect of rent.
