Rejected petition Limit the rent to the of maximum £400 and reduce house prices.

Set a limit for maximum rent to pay to £400, which restricts housing companies charging ridiculous prices just to live in 1 house. Also by reducing house prices to buy to about £20,000 for example

More details

By restricting rent to the maximum to £400 and house prices to buy, it will have a certain impact in the UK economy and improve everyone's lifestyle dramatically. By doing this you'll see a sharp decrease of loans being taken out just for essential needs to survive, also the number of homeless people will also decrease as the rent prices drop to a reasonable price. Answer me this, can you afford to see people suffer and homeless? They will turn to crime in order to survive

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for. Decisions about house prices are a matter for individual sellers, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
