Petition Make contents insurance mandatory for all council tenants

We live in a semi detached house which we own. This is an ex council house. The house that we are attached to is still owned by the Council.

As we have a morgage we have to take out building and contents insurance.

But if you are a council Tennant you don't have to have insurance of any kind

More details

The house next door had a very sevier fire and we have been out of our house for a long time

Our insurance covered us for our damage but as there is not any insurance with the next door property our insurance premium will go up

I was not aware that insurance is optional if you are a council tenant and even though none of this is our fault we are the ones left paying the price

Thing's need to change and I don't think it's too much to ask a council tenant to take responsibility for themselves
