WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 19th NOVEMBER 2013
Question
Further to his answer of 5th November 2013, which revealed that the Department recharged tenants £14,294.88 in 2012 for repairs to void properties above and beyond fair wear and tear, will the Minister inform members how many tenants faced these re-charges, what length of tenancy was involved, how much they were charged including the mean or median charge and what proportion of these end of let repair costs were thus recharged?
Answer
The £14,294.88 recharged in 2012 reflects 9 ending tenancies of the 363 managed by the Department. This represents a proportion of only 2.5%.
