Landlord and Tenant Act 1954
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
10 Provisions as to liabilities under tenant’s covenants in former lease.
(1) If on the termination of the former tenancy the tenant retains possession of the dwelling-house by virtue of section six of this Act, any liability, whether of the tenant or of any predecessor in title of his, arising under the terms of the former tenancy shall be extinguished: Provided that this subsection shall not affect any liability— (a) for failure to pay rent or rates or to insure or keep insured, or (b) in respect of the use of any premises for immoral or illegal purposes, or any liability under the terms of the former tenancy in so far as those terms related to property other than the dwelling-house. (2) During the period of the statutory tenancy no order shall be made for the recovery of possession of the dwelling-house from the tenant in any of the circumstances specified in Cases 1 to 3 in Schedule 15 to the Rent Act (which relate to the recovery of possession where an obligation of the tenancy has been broken or where certain specified acts or defaults have been committed) by reason only of any act or default which occurred before the date of termination of the former tenancy.

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.
