Updated legislation which governs the standards of ex-guest houses means landlords are no longer breaking the law.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture introduced new regulations for flats and houses of multiple occupancy earlier this year.
It’s in an effort to improve the living conditions in buildings where people have their own bedrooms but share kitchen and bathroom facilities.
For the first time the properties, which often house vulnerable people, will have to meet reasonable standards.
Environmental health manager John Howie says previously the existing law couldn’t be enforced:
Record number of seal pups recorded
Proposed laws could mean free period products
Unemployment fell slightly last month
GP waiting times to be raised in House of Keys tomorrow
Waves higher than predicted on crossing which damaged cars
Spitfire flights to be launched from Ronaldsway
Does Crogga owe the government money?
Thinking of standing for election?
