Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Housing is devolved to Scotland so this is a matter for your local authority and the Scottish Government.

The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee. You can find out how to petition the Scottish Parliament here: https://www.parliament.scot/gettinginvolved/petitions/CreateAPetition.aspx
