The Hazards in Social Housing (Prescribed Requirements) (England) Regulations 2025

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.

14 Requirement to keep the lessee updated

(1) This regulation applies if a relevant investigation identifies required work. (2) The lessor must take reasonable steps to keep the lessee informed about the timing and progress of the required work until the appropriate time. (3) In paragraph (2), “the appropriate time” means such time that— (a) the required work is completed, (b) where the required work cannot be undertaken lawfully unless the lessor obtains the consent of another person, the lessor has exhausted all reasonable endeavours to obtain such consent, (c) a subsequent associated investigation concludes that the social home is not affected by a significant hazard or emergency hazard, or (d) a subsequent associated investigation concludes that there is no required work in relation to the hazard in question. (4) The lessor must inform the lessee when the required work is completed. (5) Where a circumstance mentioned in paragraph (3)(b), (c) or (d) arises, the lessor must, as soon as reasonably practicable, give the lessee a document setting out— (a) that there is no further action required under these Regulations, and the reasons why, and (b) information about how the lessee may contact the lessor. (6) Regulation 10 applies to the giving of a document required to be given to the lessee under paragraph (5) as it applies to the giving of a document required to be given to the lessee under regulation 9.

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.

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.
