Rejected petition Change law re squatting in people's homes. Grant return of property in 24 hours.

Grant giving the property back to homeowner when taken over by intruders within 24 hours either enforced by thr police or bailiffs. No one should be deprived from their own home and left destitute, it is theft and the intruders will use and take things from the homeowners house so it is a crime.

More details

I was disgusted to learn that people stole an 85 year old lady's house whilst on holiday and she's got nowhere to live. Also that someone can put the house on their name after entering uninvited, hence stealing it. And the law allows this.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It is already illegal to trespass or squat in a residential property, and it is already illegal to steal property

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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