Propose a change

Housing (Scotland) Act 1988

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

31A Succession after the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016 comes into force

(1) Subsection (2) applies where— (a) a sole tenant under an assured tenancy dies on or after 1 December 2017 , and (b) an individual succeeds to the tenancy. (2) As soon as the individual becomes the tenant, the tenancy— (a) ceases to be an assured tenancy (if, but for this section, it would have been one), and (b) becomes a private residential tenancy as defined in the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
