Fully outlaw practice of landlords/agents refusing to let to benefits claimants

Petition Details

Fully commit to stopping the practice of estate agents and landlords being able to refuse you on the basis of getting housing and other benefits.

Additional Information

I am a single mother and work part time I have a guarantor and passed all credit checks and affordability checks but as soon as I declare I get help with rent via housing benefits I get refused because of this. Similar cases have been to be discriminatory, but still goes on most estate agents won’t even let me book a viewing. I believe this is pure discrimination.
