Landlord and Tenant Act 1985
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
31 Reserve power to limit rents.

(2) An order may contain supplementary or incidental provisions, including provisions excluding, adapting or modifying any provision made by or under an enactment (whenever passed) relating to rent or the recovery of overpaid rent. (3) In this section— “new letting” includes any grant of a tenancy, whether or not the premises were previously let, and any grant of a licence; “rent” includes a sum payable under a licence, but does not include a sum attributable to rates or council tax or, in the case of dwellings of local authorities National Park authority or new town corporations, to the use of furniture, or the provision of services; and for the purposes of this section an increase in rent takes place at the beginning of the rental period for which the increased rent is payable.

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.
