What the petition asks
I would like the government to introduce a bill which builds on the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022 and Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, extending the ground rent ban to all current leaseholds.
A large proportion of flats and apartments are leasehold. This means that if people live in flats or apartments, they can often be faced with ground rents which can be an additional expense, one not faced by those in freehold properties. We believe they should be completely outlawed.
