Petition Introduce stricter laws & screening on people receiving benefits/social housing

Taxpayers contribute to the upkeep of social housing and benefits system. Many people on benefits abuse the system and many people living in council properties actually let the property out or do not look after / damage the property which then will have to be repaired and paid for by taxpayers.
