Sharon's Law-Change the law to protect commercial tenants against bad landlords
After going through 14 year ongoing battle of neglect from my landlord myself, i was shock to discovered that the law does not protect the commercial property sector. Millions are being left to fend for themselves, often resulting in having to close their business, most having lost a lot of money.
There is no law to protect you against a bad landlord. They can get away with what ever they want it seems, councils are helpless to step in and help unless you are food related. So unless you are prepared to pay for a solicitor to step in you are on your own. Even if you do have the money, you may find that your contract is one sided - the landlords side. Help me change this, to help all those that are vulnerable that have no where to turn, to maybe save their business and their investment.
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the rights of commercial tenants, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like the Government or Parliament to make.
Commercial landlords already have legal responsibilities, which vary depending on the conditions of your lease.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask the Government to provide funding for a dispute resolution scheme, if that's what you would like to happen.
