Make it illegal to require guarantors for tenants in receipt of housing benefit

Petition Details

The Government should help end indirect discrimination against tenants on housing benefit by making it illegal to require a guarantor to rent a property when you are in receipt of housing benefit.

Additional Information

We applied for a property and we were required to get a guarantor because we are in receipt of housing benefit. At our age of 47, getting a guarantor isn’t an option and we feel that we have been indirectly discriminated against. We know we’re not the only people in this position.
