Give landlord more rights when the tenant doesn't pay for damages
If the deposit is insufficient to cover the damages, the renter should be held liable and required to pay for the work that the landlord has to conduct
It's not right that a tenant may simply stop paying rent and leave. Sometimes the deposit is insufficient to cover all of the damages. Landlords should have more legal recourse to recover their losses. Tenants who default on their rent should have a bad credit score given to them. It's time to protect the landlords.
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:
Landlords can already take tenants (or former tenants) to court for the cost of damages to their property.
