This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Tenants of housing association properties built or bought by a housing association after 1997, or transferred from a local council to a housing association after 1997, have the right to apply to buy their housing if they've had a public sector landlord for three years. This is similar to the Right to Buy for council tenants.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to change this scheme, but it would need to be clear what changes you wanted the Government to make to how this scheme currently operates.
