This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Prevent council spending money on anti-squatter guardianship companies.
One such a company being Camelot Vacant Property Guardians: http://uk.cameloteurope.com/. Both the guardians and local councils are paying the company to house guardians - it started as an anti-squatting scheme but squatting is no longer legal.
More details
As an ex guardian I have experienced, harassment from council flat residents for being a guardian. Most young people who move to the capital are forced to live with guardianship companies. As a guardian you have no rights and live in conditions unfit for living. Toilets are converted into shower cubicles. If you persist to have something fixed or complain about parties in the properties you can be asked to leave or get evicted. I was evicted couple of days before Christmas.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The decision of whether or not to enter into a contract with guardianship companies is the responsibility of local councils, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
