1) Name and brief description of the proposed decision The subject of your CRIA may be a proposed law, policy or proposition and in accordance with the Law is referred to in this template as the decision' • What is the problem or issue the decision is trying to address? • Do children experience this problem differently from adults? |
Draft Residential Tenancy (Jersey) Amendment Law 202-: Amendment The aim of the Panel's proposed amendment is to amend P.24/2025(Amd) to require that fixed-term tenancies under the 2011 Law may only be terminated, whether during the term or at its end, by written notice of at least one month from the tenant or three months from the landlord. The intention behind this it that it will provide a statutory safeguard against the misuse of break clauses and the old practice of silent non-renewals of tenancies. |
2) Which groups of children and young people are likely to be affected? Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children |
None |
3) What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights? • Identify any potential positive OR negative impacts and include indirect impacts on children and their rights as described in the UNCRC • Will different groups of children be affected differently by this decision? |
None |
4) Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required? If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion |
This amendment will have no further impacts on the rights of Children than already identified in the CRIA for the main proposition |
