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.

What to do with it
As published

47A Building safety information to be contained in demands for rent etc: England

(1) Where premises to which this Part applies are premises in England which consist of or include a dwelling in a higher-risk building, any written demand given to a tenant of the premises must contain the relevant building safety information. (2) Where— (a) a tenant of such premises is given such a demand, but (b) the demand does not contain the relevant building safety information, any part of the amount demanded which consists of a service charge or an administration charge (“the relevant amount”) is to be treated for all purposes as not being due from the tenant to the landlord at any time before the landlord gives the relevant building safety information to the tenant. (3) But the relevant amount is not to be so treated in relation to any time when— (a) by virtue of an order of any court or tribunal there is in force an appointment of a receiver or manager whose functions include the receiving of service charges or administration charges from the tenant, or (b) a special measures order (within the meaning of Schedule 7 to the Building Safety Act 2022) is in force. (4) In this section— “demand” has the meaning given in section 47; “higher-risk building” has the meaning given in section 115 of the Building Safety Act 2022; “relevant building safety information” has the meaning given in section 49A.

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.
