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
As published
50 Continuation of former landlord’s liability to tenant where no notice of assignment.
In section 3 of the 1985 Act (duty to inform tenant of assignment of landlord’s interest) the following subsections shall be inserted after subsection (3)—
(3A) The person who was the landlord under the tenancy immediately before the assignment (“the old landlord”) shall be liable to the tenant in respect of any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement under the tenancy occurring before the end of the relevant period in like manner as if the interest assigned were still vested in him; and where the new landlord is also liable to the tenant in respect of any such breach occurring within that period, he and the old landlord shall be jointly and severally liable in respect of it.
(3B) In subsection (3A) “the relevant period” means the period beginning with the date of the assignment and ending with the date when—
(a) notice in writing of the assignment, and of the new landlord’s name and address, is given to the tenant by the new landlord (whether in accordance with subsection (1) or not), or
(b) notice in writing of the assignment, and of the new landlord’s name and last-known address, is given to the tenant by the old landlord,
whichever happens first.

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.
