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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about protections for social housing, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There are already a limited number of circumstances in which social housing can be bought or repurposed, and it's not clear how you want rules relating to social housing to be changed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
