40 Repayment of rent where tenancy ends before end of a period
After section 21B of the Housing Act 1988 insert— Repayment of rent where tenancy ends before end of a period 21C (1) A tenant under an assured shorthold tenancy of a dwelling-house in England is entitled to a repayment of rent from the landlord where— (a) as a result of the service of a notice under section 21 the tenancy is brought to an end before the end of a period of the tenancy, (b) the tenant has paid rent in advance for that period, and (c) the tenant was not in occupation of the dwelling-house for one or more whole days of that period. (2) The amount of repayment to which a tenant is entitled under subsection (1) is to be calculated in accordance with the following formula— R × D P where— R is the rent paid for the final period; D is the number of whole days of the final period for which the tenant was not in occupation of the dwelling-house; and P is the number of whole days in that period. (3) If the repayment of rent described in subsections (1) and (2) has not been made when the court makes an order for possession under section 21, the court must order the landlord to repay the amount of rent to which the tenant is entitled. (4) Nothing in this section affects any other right of the tenant to a repayment of rent from the landlord.

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.
