We believe tenants should not have to choose between unsafe housing and paying rent on two homes. \r\n\r\nFamilies with children can face particular hardship. We want a clear early exit right, defined evidence requirements and a rapid independent process for disputes. A standard written surrender procedure should\r\nconfirm the tenancy end date and any remaining rent liability when keys are returned. Deposit deductions should require clear reasons and evidence.\r\n","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":13,"closing_date":"2027-05-09","created_at":"2026-10-15T14:35:19.392Z","updated_at":"2026-11-10T22:41:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-11-09T14:44:45.815Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-10-21T19:12:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Constantin Vizitiu","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MHCLG","name":"Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-housing-communities-local-government"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":13}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bath","ons_code":"E14001080","mp":"Wera Hobhouse MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Cambridge","ons_code":"E14001149","mp":"Daniel Zeichner MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Gillingham and Rainham","ons_code":"E14001246","mp":"Naushabah Khan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham","ons_code":"E14001314","mp":"Rt Hon Dame Diana Johnson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Norwich North","ons_code":"E14001408","mp":"Alice Macdonald MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rotherham","ons_code":"E14001452","mp":"Sarah Champion MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rushcliffe","ons_code":"E14001457","mp":"James Naish MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Sittingbourne and Sheppey","ons_code":"E14001474","mp":"Kevin McKenna MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire","ons_code":"E14001512","mp":"Ian Sollom MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tewkesbury","ons_code":"E14001542","mp":"Cameron Thomas MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":4},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":2},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":4}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
