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

We understand that you are concerned about the housing supply, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, and some of the requests you make are a matter for individual landlords, not the Government or House of Commons.

Your petition calls for affordable housing to be made more affordable, but it's not clear how you want this to be achieved.

Your petition also calls for credit checks to be stopped for private tenants, but the checks landlords conduct before granting a tenancy is a matter for individual landlords, not the Government or House of Commons.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Create a rent cap of £700 PCM and give extra protections to renters: Create a rent cap of £700 PCM and give extra protections to renters
