End discrimination in the private housing sector.
There are thousands of silent homeless people living in this country who have been refused help by their councils because they didn’t make themselves homeless but are living in bad situations. The private sector discriminates against anyone who claims housing benefit.
Provide landlords with incentives to rent to people on low incomes.
Encourage landlords to accept all kinds of people not just ‘single professionals’ as families are in desperate need of homes.
Introduce legislation to make the private sector more accessible.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you're concerned about the difficulties that people on benefits have in accessing housing. However it's not clear whether you want private landlords to be given financial, or some other form of, incentives. It's also not clear what you want legislation to do that would "make the private sector more accessible".
