This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition UK councils should offer accommodation for rent to stranded private tenants.
Rejected on
Some low paid working families are having difficulties to find secured accommodation because they are not getting paid enough to buy a mortgage or getting a convenient, cheaper rent accommodation to schools and work. Local councils are not helping to make life easy for these groups of people.
''I am working day and night, but I'm in a situation where I will be homelessness soon'', No life out of work, not able to go to a local holiday because of high rent bills demands from private landlords. I want to work no depending on government hand out.
We are not asking for free accommodation but to pay a reasonable rent according to our earnings and able to buy food for our families.
Resident from Ealing, London.
