How many formal complaints relating to defective rented properties and which resulted in a visit by an Environmental Health officer were made to Environmental Health (or its precursor) in each of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019?
The Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings – Minimum Standards and Prescribed Hazards) (Jersey) Order 2018 relating to minimum standards in rented dwellings came into effect on 1 December 2018.
We are only in a position to provide information relating to the number of complaints relating to defective rented dwellings that resulted in a visit from Environmental Health from that date onwards.
December 2018; 15 complaints received of which 12 generated visits.
1 January 2019 to 4 December 2019 - 229 complaints received of which 185 generated visits.
Prior to 1 December 2018 informal visits may have been undertaken on request but there was no legal framework in place to formally record these visits.
