An MHK says he has heartfelt support for the Landlord and Tenant Bill after visiting a constituent suffering problems with an absentee landlord.
David Cretney says the living conditions of this tenant were desperate - fuelled by the uncommunicative owner of the property not living in the Island.
Legislation put forward by the Department of Social Care is looking to find a reasonable balance between the rights of landlords and those of private tenants.
The Private Landlords Association will meet next week in Douglas to discuss changes to the Bill after members of the HoK made their amendments.
Mr Cretney says agricultural, private and public sector tenants should be better protected:
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?
