Petition Make it illegal to discriminate against DSS in the rental sector

Make a change to the equality law for people in the rental market. Many working prospective tenants are in receipt of housing benefit or tax credit assistance to make up for the ever increasing cost of monthly rent. Stating 'no DSS' leaves many hard working families with little or no housing options

More details
