Petition Extend ban on ground rent to existing retirement housing

Ban ground rents for all retirement properties to reduce housing costs. Currently, the Government has announced a ban on ground rents for new leasehold properties. I think that this should be extended to all retirement properties, regardless of when they were built.

More details

This would help retired people afford a home without excessive charges by landlords, over which they have no control. Many pensioners have a limited income, this would make their financial situation easier.
