Rejected petition Make putting "no DSS/benefits" in To Let housing ads illegal

Specifying in housing ads that tenants on benefits are unwelcome discriminates against people who receive benefits for reasons out of their control. It is rooted in the idea that people on benefits are unreliable and destructive, and makes it difficult for e.g. disabled people to find good housing.
