This petition was rejected
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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you're concerned about renting but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to. We're not sure what you mean by "non-rich" people and we're not sure what action you'd like to see to make rents more affordable and prevent discrimination against animal owners.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, a petition calling for the law to prevent landlords from refusing to rent property to people because they own pets, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
