 Housing qualifications were dropped twice in 2003 down to 15 years |
The amount of time people have to live in Jersey before getting housing qualifications may be reduced again. The island's strict housing laws currently allow only local people, or people who have lived there for more than 15 years, to qualify.
The Housing Committee wants to reduce the qualification period to 14 years.
The committee has been slowly reducing the length of time it takes for people who are not born in the island to get residential status since 2000.
Housing qualifications were dropped twice in 2003, bringing them down from 17 years to the current 15.
The committee said it decided to continue a gradual cut of the period as a migration policy for the island still had not been approved by the States.
