What the petition asks

I'm a single mum, I work full time self employed I get help from housing benefit. I've been trying to find a new house for me and my kids with no luck as very where says no DSS.
I feel this is discrimination and shouldn't be aloud any more

At the moment on zoopla the online property site, for the area I'm looking for there is 107 houses to rent and they all say No DSS and if they don't t say this they want you to have a guarantor and for most of us this is not an option.
It's not fair, I no from speaking to lots of people I'm not the only one in this situation.
It's time they make a change
