Propose a change

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.

29A Time limits for applications to court

(1) Subject to section 29B of this Act, the court shall not entertain an application— (a) by the tenant or the landlord under section 24(1) of this Act; or (b) by the landlord under section 29(2) of this Act, if it is made after the end of the statutory period. (2) In this section and section 29B of this Act “the statutory period” means a period ending— (a) where the landlord gave a notice under section 25 of this Act, on the date specified in his notice; and (b) where the tenant made a request for a new tenancy under section 26 of this Act, immediately before the date specified in his request. (3) Where the tenant has made a request for a new tenancy under section 26 of this Act, the court shall not entertain an application under section 24(1) of this Act which is made before the end of the period of two months beginning with the date of the making of the request, unless the application is made after the landlord has given a notice under section 26(6) of this Act.

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.
