(1) Where premises to which this Part applies are premises in England which consist of or include a dwelling in a higher-risk building, the landlord must give the tenant a notice containing the relevant building safety information. (2) Where a landlord fails to give a notice to a tenant in accordance with subsection (1), any rent, service charge or administration charge otherwise due from the tenant to the landlord 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 notice to the tenant. (3) But any such rent, service charge or administration charge 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 rent, 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) The requirement to give a notice to a tenant under subsection (1) may be satisfied by giving the notice to them at a time when they are a prospective tenant. (5) In this section “relevant building safety information” means— (a) the fact that the premises consist of or include a dwelling in a higher-risk building; (b) the name of each person listed in subsection (6); (c) an email address and telephone number through which each person listed in subsection (6) may be contacted; (d) a postal address in England and Wales at which notices (including notices in proceedings) may be served by the tenant on the principal accountable person for the higher-risk building; (e) a postal address for the regulator; (f) such other information as may be prescribed in regulations made by the Secretary of State. (6) The persons are— (a) the principal accountable person for the higher-risk building; (b) any special measures manager for the higher-risk building; (c) the regulator. (7) In this section— “higher-risk building” has the meaning given in section 115 of the Building Safety Act 2022; “principal accountable person” has the meaning given in section 115 of that Act; “the regulator” has the meaning given in section 115 of that Act; “special measures manager” has the meaning given in paragraph 1 of Schedule 7 to that Act.

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.
