WQ.295/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 14th JUNE 2021
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 21st JUNE 2021
Question
Will the Minister advise how many people are facing eviction following the end of the moratorium on evictions that was temporarily in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic?
Answer
The number of eviction cases brought to court after 30th September 19 (when the Covid-19 amendment to the Law was repelled) is 22 at today's date.
Out of these 22, 12 resulted in an eviction being ordered. The remaining cases were either settled between parties, the case withdrawn by the landlord or adjourned to no fixed date (Sine Die) until resolved privately. One case only remains live and will be heard again in court this week.
The Court is unable to provide the level of detail you are seeking in relation to whether the cases brought to court over non-payment of rent or anti-social behaviour are related to the Covid pandemic or not as this information doesn't form part of the court record, which details only the decision made by the Court.
