Prevent landlords from refusing permission for tenants to foster children

Prevent landlords from refusing permission for tenants to foster children — 13 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Introduce legislation preventing landlords from refusing permission for tenants to foster children in rented homes. Thousands of children across the UK need safe foster homes. Many applicants are prevented from helping because they need landlord consent, which can be refused without good reason.

Additional details

Thousands of children across the UK need foster homes, yet many applicants who rent are unable to foster because landlord consent can be refused without reasonable justification. Prospective foster carers already undergo rigorous assessments to ensure they can provide suitable homes. We believe landlords should not be able to refuse without good reason, helping remove unnecessary barriers for renters who want to support vulnerable children.
