Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says he doesn't know when new laws about landlords and their properties will be finished.
During Tynwald's sitting this week, he faced questions from Robert Mercer MLC about the Landlord Registration (Private Housing) Act 2021.
Mr Crookall said his department had a number of other priorities and so he couldn't say when it would come into force.
He explained the law needed detailed regulations covering a range of areas:
LegCo considers meeting on a different day
Extra promenade bus facilities would cost estimated £735k
Medieval cross returned home to Royal Chapel
Arbory MHKs in "parasite politicians" spat
Tyson Fury's boxing glove sold for £7k in charity auction
Parcels may be hit by customs charges under EU rules
Number of police searches rises by nearly 37 percent
Broad to stand for Ayre and Michael
