This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Tenants of housing association properties built or bought by a housing association after 1997, or transferred from a local council to a housing association after 1997, have the right to apply to buy their housing if they've had a public sector landlord for three years. This is similar to the Right to Buy for council tenants.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to change this scheme, but it would need to be clear what changes you wanted the Government to make to how this scheme currently operates.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
