Rejected petition Create a landlords charter where landlords can list rogue/bad tenants

Create a landlords charter where good landlords can register their properties as met an agreed standard and can list rogue/bad tenants so that other private landlords do not suffer loss of income and/or damage to their properties.
Also list good tenants so references are validated not fraudulent.

More details

To protect good landlords from rogue/bad tenants as suffering at the hands of one could leave landlords with only 1 or 2 properties in a very vulnerable place financially. This would also ensure the standard of properties rented out.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about sharing information about tenants and prospective tenants are a matter for individual landlords, provided the data is shared in a way that is consistent with data protection legislation.

It's also not clear in what circumstances you want landlords to be able to "list" tenants.

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