WQ.109/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 13th MARCH 2023
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 20th MARCH 2023
Question
Will the Minister provide details of his benchmark figure for 80% of market rate for rental of –
- a studio flat;
- one-bedroom flat;
- a two-bedroom flat;
- a two-bedroom house; and
- a three-bedroom house?
Answer
The Minister for Housing and Communities does not set benchmark figures for the 80% market rate for rental of the property types/sizes referenced in the question.
The social housing suppliers are subject to the Social Rents Housing Policy, which caps social rents at up to 80% of the market rate, and they ensure that the rents they charge comply with the social rents cap.
