Rejected petition Change council housing standards

The council houses and flat condition should be in a rentable manner before advertising and leasing

More details

I believe it is insane to offer a council tenants a home in such a poor condition; we should be treated fairly and according to our rights as tenants, and we should never accept a house with holes in the walls, cemented floors, mouldy bathrooms and rooms, poor state gardens, and walls that aren't painted ( in white ), none carpeted homes,

Have you ever rented a private housing which such poor state ? So why should we council tenants put up with the terms of council housing?

We pay rent, we should be treated as human beings not pigs

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.

Social landlords already need to make sure that homes meet certain standards, including that they are in a reasonable state of repair: https://www.gov.uk/housing-association-homes/standard-of-your-home

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to change these standards, but it would need to be clear how you wanted these standards to be changed.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
