Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says he doesn't know when five-year old laws governing landlords will come into force.
In Tynwald this week he faced questions from Gary Clueit MLC about when the Landlord Registration Act 2021 would come in to regulate private landlords.
Mr Crookall said his department was discussing the law with the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
But he added he couldn't say when it would become law:
UK bikers rally to raise cash for injured sidecar team
Viking Longboat races postponed
Award wins are grate news for Creamery
Be a part of the Big Day Out
Plea to help hedgehogs survive the heat
Richard III loyal supporters are no more
Witness appeal after Ballasalla incident
