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

8D Disposal in pursuance of option or right of pre-emption.

(1) Where— (a) the original disposal was the grant of an option or right of pre-emption, and (b) in pursuance of the option or right, the landlord makes another disposal affecting the premises (“the later disposal”) before the end of the period specified in subsection (2), sections 11 to 17 shall have effect as if the later disposal, and not the original disposal, were the relevant disposal. (2) The period referred to in subsection (1)(b) is the period of four months beginning with the date by which— (a) notices under section 3A of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (duty of new landlord to inform tenants of rights) relating to the original disposal, or (b) where that section does not apply, documents of any other description— (i) indicating that the original disposal has taken place, and (ii) alerting the tenants to the existence of their rights under this Part and the time within which any such rights must be exercised, have been served on the requisite majority of qualifying tenants of the constituent flats.

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.
