Rejected petition Stop property management companies unfairly charging for random consents
There is a growing practice by property management companies to charge leaseholders unfair and unjustified amounts for 'permission' to create a tenancy; to alter the windows, doors or walls in their home and even new kitchens and bathrooms.
It's a scandal that is fleecing leaseholders of thousands
More details
Through no fault of their own, millions of leaseholders have suffered significantly financially due to the cladding scandal emanating from Grenfell and from freeholders charging exorbitant, unregulated amounts for lease renewals.
Leaseholders must be protected from unscrupulous profiteering.

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 leaseholders being charged for certain things, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It's not clear if you want freeholders to be prevented from imposing any charges for permissions to do certain things, or to regulate these charges in some way.
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.
