Petition Action

Make absconding tenants(leaving debts including rent) a criminal offence

Additional Information

Private landlords suffering absconding tenants leaving owing rent, unpaid utilities etc.
The debt is registered to the address, not the absconder.
It is illegal to run off without paying for a taxi or drive off without paying at a petrol station. Why is this issue a civil matter. It should be a criminal matter.
Landlords need basic contact detail of the absconder so that a European arrest warrant can be issued.
