In the meantime they will give the squaters/ex tenants housing benefit without it being paid to the landlord, in effect encouraging benefit fraud by the tenant.\r\n\r\nAs it stands the council will not pursue the issue but just rehome the tenant on eviction by baliffs. This petition is for all home owners, landlords and anyone who pays taxes to the local council for them to be mis-used in this shocking way.\r\n\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":3,"created_at":"2011-12-09T15:31:25.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:43.004Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-12-20T10:09:13.000Z","closed_at":"2012-12-20T10:09:13.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-12-09T15:31:25.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[],"signatures_by_constituency":[],"signatures_by_region":[],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
