Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995
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
7 Former landlord may be released from covenants on assignment of reversion.
(1) This section applies where— (a) a landlord assigns the reversion in premises of which he is the landlord under a tenancy, and (b) immediately before the assignment a former landlord of the premises remains bound by a landlord covenant of the tenancy (“the relevant covenant”). (2) If immediately before the assignment the former landlord does not remain the landlord of any other premises demised by the tenancy, he may apply to be released from the relevant covenant in accordance with section 8. (3) In any other case the former landlord may apply to be so released from the relevant covenant to the extent that it falls to be complied with in relation to any premises comprised in the assignment. (4) If the former landlord is so released from every landlord covenant by which he remained bound immediately before the assignment, he ceases to be entitled to the benefit of the tenant covenants of the tenancy. (5) If the former landlord is so released from every such landlord covenant to the extent that it falls to be complied with in relation to any premises comprised in the assignment, he ceases to be entitled to the benefit of the tenant covenants of the tenancy to the extent that they fall to be so complied with. (6) This section applies as mentioned in subsection (1)— (a) whether or not the landlord making the assignment is landlord of the whole of the premises comprised in the tenancy; and (b) whether or not the former landlord has previously applied (whether under section 6 or this section) to be released from the relevant covenant.

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.
