What the petition asks

In the UK most landlords are against couples who have children when it comes to renting. My wife is pregnant we are looking for a property and all landlords have refused children. Is time for a change.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask for it to be made illegal for landlords to refuse to rent to someone because they have a child.
