Don't force hard working council tenants to pay more rent

Petition Details

George Osborne wants to enforce the law, that if you earn a household income of £30,000 or more (£40,000 in London) you will have to pay equivalent of the private renting sector as of April 2017. He describes it as the 'rich' will no longer have the privilege. Some rents will increase by 300%

I understand the cut backs are needed, however this is forcing hard working people out of their homes, becoming homeless or being forced onto benefits. The £30,000 household income should not fall into the category of the 'rich' (this is only £15,000 each! Its encouraging not to work and earn more, but to earn less!
