Not everyone can get a Guarantor as some people are not so fortunate to have the help off any one.\r\nLetting agents need to be advising landlords on this and be more open to LHA as there are a lot more people that get LHA from all walks of life. HB is not what it used to be with all the cuts and savings that are happening in the UK.\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":5,"created_at":"2014-03-29T03:30:45.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:51.910Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2014-04-02T13:19:51.000Z","closed_at":"2015-03-30T22:59:59.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-03-29T03:30:45.000Z","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":[]}}}
