MHK to ask about protection for rent deposits

Friday, 28 November 2025 17:25

An MHK will quiz Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood about rent deposits in the House of Keys next week.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse has a question about whether a rent deposit protection scheme has been considered for the Island.

In the UK, landlords have to put rental deposits in a government-approved scheme, which holds the money until it's due to be repaid and any disputes have been resolved.

The House of Keys will sit from 10am on Tuesday, December 2 in Legislative Buildings in Douglas.
