This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Allow Anyone To Apply For Council Homes- Even High Earners
More details
Just because someone earns a high wage annually does NOT mean that they see their wage as you would expect.
Council should not decline people because they earn a particular wage. For all they know behind closed doors the said person may have debt, child support to pay etc.
Even if they did not have any debts etc that would hinder their actual 'take home', you would think high earner tenants would be more reliable in comparison to who make no effort to pay their bills/rent.
Rent could potentially be paid on time, the right amount with no issues in comparison to many people who do not have a high wage or a wage full stop other than benefits.
