This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Take into account the rental history of renters when applying for a mortgage
Rejected on
Pass legislation that forces Banks and lenders to take into account the rental payment history of long term renters when applying for a mortgage
To help first time buyers purchase their own home
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Credit reports and checks take into account the payment history of applicants including rental payments, and this is a matter for individual credit reference agencies in cooperation with lenders, not the Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
