Review and enhance the rights of Service Family Accommodation (SFA) tenants

Closed 1,158 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe Armed Forces families are consistently let down by the service providers that are supposed to maintain Service Family Accommodation (SFA). We want the Government to review and enhance the rights of SFA tenants, so they have at least the same rights as private tenants.
The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is responsible for holding service providers to account, but the families living in this accommodation often struggle to have issues with accommodation resolved. We want the Government to review the existing rights of SFA tenants, and ensure they have the legal right to personally hold providers to account where they neglect their responsibilities, just like a private tenant would.
