MHK asks if gov't has a duty to look into it
There are no plans to address rent levels in the private sector - according to the Policy and Reform Minister.
Addressing the House of Keys this morning (14 Feb), Chris Thomas told members current legislation already allows tenants to appeal the amount of rent they're required to pay.
Member for Ramsey Lawrie Hooper asked the minister whether government has a duty to be more proactive in the area, considering the poor standards and high rents of some properties.
Mr Thomas says the issue isn't straightforward:
No proposals for nursing home in west
Families can attend hearings remotely
Code Club receives grant of more than £25k
Manx Care's 'Home First approach' sees high demand
