Ashford calls for DOI to review tenancy policy for social housing tenants

Thu, 20 Apr 2023

A Douglas North MHK wants the Department of Infrastructure to review its five year tenancy policy for social housing tenants.

David Ashford says the legislation, which was put in place in 2019, is having ‘adverse effects’.

He wants the DOI to review the eviction process, look into policies for those on benefits as well as adult children with income.

Mr Ashford says people aren’t against the system but they just want it to be ‘fair’.
