It says there are measures to support residents who need help
Sixty thousand pounds in rent arrears is owed by social housing tenants in Douglas.
Douglas Council says this figure will continue to rise until December because of the way the rent is paid.
This month's arrears represents a 20% increase from last month but Devon Watson, Chair of the Housing Committee says it only represents '0.7 per cent' of the social housing income which is 'about £17 million'.
He also says the council has measures in place for the 'relatively small' amount of people who are in rent arrears and it will be working to keep a 'lid' on the problem.
