Rejected petition protect students from poor accommodation and bad landlords

Having had 2 daughters live in rented student accommodation and watch them struggle to get repairs done. They have had to live in rooms covered in black mould. Ovens, toilets and showers which don't work are just a few of the problems. I have decided enough is enough.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about students' rights when renting accommodation, but we're not sure what action you'd like to see.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
