Petition Action

Reduce all residential leasehold rents to a peppercorn/£1.

Petition Details

Require all existing and new residential long-term leases to charge no more than a peppercorn/£1 rent each year.

Additional Information

It is archaic that leaseholders are required to pay substantial rents to "landlords" for properties they effectively own. As shown by the recent cladding scandal, landlords/freeholders have failed to act in the best interests of their tenants or add any value to the housing system. It is time for this to end.
