Closed petition Protect critically ill people from eviction by landlords

Closed on 25 September 2021

Place the health and well-being of people above short-term financial interests of landlords. In this case, by implementing a, critical illness moratorium, into the housing act that prevents any eviction of a person or their household within 1 year of diagnosis of a recognized critical illness.

The Government must act to protect people and the NHS by preventing the eviction of persons recently diagnosed with a critical illness. This places individuals, their families, the NHS and the local council in a very difficult position strategically, financially and certainly with regards to their health and well-being. It also places other individuals in the household at increased risk of mental health problems, financial harm and employment uncertainty. Something MUST be done.
