Make annual and other admin fees by landlords letting agents etc illegal
The UK rented housing market is in a dire state. Rented property is expensive. far too scarce, and largely uncontrolled. Landlords and other letting agents should be prevented from leeching on already beleaguered tenants by the imposition of sundry additional charges, as they are in Scotland.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government announced in the 2016 Autumn Statement that it would ban letting agents' fees to tenants. You can read more about this in paragraph 3.41 of the Autumn Statement:

We're therefore not sure what additional action you'd like the Government to take.
