Rejected petition Force banks to automatically accept tenants who apply for mortgages.
Banks need to automatically accept mortgage applicantions from tenants. Who ever can provide 12 months record of meeting their monthly rent on time should be accepted. It is a disgrace that banks are forcing people on low income to live on rent, which is generally higher than a mortgage payment.
