Social Care Minister Chris Robertshaw has agreed to extend consultation on new laws governing landlords after a meeting last night.
The public meeting saw him face an hour and a half of questions from private landlords angered by new proposals which would impose minimum standards of accommodation and a register of those who let property.
Consultation on the Landlords and Tenants Bill was due to end on Friday but last night he said if a Landlords' Association was set up, he’d allow extra time to hold talks with it.
Mr Robertshaw says he understands why people are concerned:
New yellow weather warning for snow issued until Monday
Ronaldsway runway reopens following morning closure
2026 budget 'has a lot of work to do'
'New challenges to overcome' in 2026, says chief minister
