Propose a change

Landlord and Tenant Act 1987

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.

As published

11 Circumstances in which tenants’ rights enforceable against purchaser

(1) The following provisions of this Part apply where a landlord has made a relevant disposal affecting premises to which at the time of the disposal this Part applied (“the original disposal”), and either— (a) no notice was served by the landlord under section 5 with respect to that disposal, or (b) the disposal was made in contravention of any provision of sections 6 to 10, and the premises are still premises to which this Part applies. (2) In those circumstances the requisite majority of the qualifying tenants of the flats contained in the premises affected by the relevant disposal (the “constituent flats”) have the rights conferred by the following provisions— section 11A (right to information as to terms of disposal, &c.), section 12A (right of qualifying tenants to take benefit of contract), section 12B (right of qualifying tenants to compel sale, &c. by purchaser), and section 12C (right of qualifying tenants to compel grant of new tenancy by superior landlord). (3) In those sections the transferee under the original disposal (or, in the case of the surrender of a tenancy, the superior landlord) is referred to as “the purchaser”. This shall not be read as restricting the operation of those provisions to disposals for consideration.

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.
