Leasehold Reform: Protect Retired Homeowners

Give retired people the same rights and protections as every other leaseholder and ensure the new Leasehold & Freehold Reform Act applies to all properties, with no exemptions for the freeholders of retirement homes.

Why is this important?

New laws are being introduced to give leaseholders greater and fairer protection. A key part of this is making sure landlords are transparent about how they raise and spend service charges paid by homeowners.

But some landlords of retirement properties are lobbying to be made exempt from these new rules. This would deny retired homeowners the right to see exactly how their money is being spent and leave them vulnerable to unfair practices.

People in retirement deserve the same transparency and protection as everyone else. Please sign the petition to urge the Minister to reject any exemptions and ensure the law protects all leaseholders equally.
