Tenants could be evicted if behind on their rent from Boxing Day.
It comes as a law brought in through emergency powers during the coronavirus pandemic - which prohibited landlords from evicting tenants over non-payment of rent - ends.
Douglas councillor Devon Watson is calling on government to extend the period of protection for tenants, saying: ’This is both a private and a public sector housing issue.
’In general, throwing people out of their homes, or going down to file an eviction notice a few days after a big Christian holiday, doesn’t feel like it’s fully appropriate.
