A new UK law which protects tenants against mould would be considered when updating Manx housing legislation, but there are no current plans to do so.
In the House of Keys this week, Glenfaba and Peel MHK Tim Crookall asked Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood if Awaab's Law, recently introduced in the UK, would be brought in here.
In response, she said regulations covering damp and mould should apply to both social and private housing.
The minister said changes to the Island's laws are in the process of being considered:
Last chance to become next TT's charity partner
No gas price hike after regulator review
Cafe hits back after staff abused
Online appointments being considered by sexual health clinic
Treasury can’t say how much is made from medicinal cannabis
Road closures planned for tin baths this weekend
DOI has no junction safety concerns over Iceland plans
LegCo to face questions in this morning's sitting
