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
3A Duty to inform tenant of possible right to acquire landlord’s interest.
(1) Where a new landlord is required by section 3(1) to give notice to a tenant of an assignment to him, then if— (a) the tenant is a qualifying tenant within the meaning of Part I of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 (tenants’ rights of first refusal), and (b) the assignment was a relevant disposal within the meaning of that Part affecting premises to which at the time of the disposal that Part applied, the landlord shall give also notice in writing to the tenant to the following effect. (2) The notice shall state— (a) that the disposal to the landlord was one to which Part I of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 applied; (b) that the tenant (together with other qualifying tenants) may have the right under that Part— (i) to obtain information about the disposal, and (ii) to acquire the landlord’s interest in the whole or part of the premises in which the tenant’s flat is situated; and (c) the time within which any such right must be exercised, and the fact that the time would run from the date of receipt of notice under this section by the requisite majority of qualifying tenants (within the meaning of that Part). (3) A person who is required to give notice under this section and who fails, without reasonable excuse, to do so within the time allowed for giving notice under section 3(1) commits a summary offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.

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.
