MINISTERS have been criticised for failing to meet a tenants’ group almost three months after an initial request was made amid fears that the lifting of measures protecting renters during the pandemic could leave some at risk of eviction.

The Jersey Tenants’ Forum was told yesterday that Housing Minister Russell Labey will meet them next week following a request from the group’s founder Stuart Langhorn in December and a reminder in January. He said tenants should not have had to wait so long for a response. He added: ‘The government is just out of touch with what’s happening on the ground.’
