Ban family houses from being converted into Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs)

Petition Details

Introduce legislation to prevent property developers & private landlords from converting family homes into HMOs, especially ex-council homes. We think that there is already a dearth of family homes for low-income working families, & by converting them into HMOs, the situation is being made worse.

Additional Information

We feel that rents for ordinary families are sky high, so converting houses into HMOs can create very difficult situations. I call on the government to help hard working, low income people.
