Landlord Registration (Private Housing) Act 2021

In July 2021 Tynwald formally approved the Bill which will make it mandatory for landlords to register themselves, their representatives and their properties in order for them to remain a landlord on the Island. The Bill then received Royal Assent in December 2021, making the Bill formally renamed as The Landlord Registration (Private Housing) Act 2021.

Before registration becomes mandatory the Department is required to draft and consult upon Regulations which will set out how the Act will operate at a practical level and which will make registration a requirement in law.

It is the Department’s intention to work closely with the private rental sector to make the transition into this regulatory requirement as smooth as possible.
