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.

What to do with it
As published

5 Termination of tenancy by the tenant.

(1) A tenancy to which section one of this Act applies may be brought to an end at the term date thereof by not less than one month’s notice in writing given by the tenant to the immediate landlord. (2) A tenancy continuing after the term date thereof by virtue of section three of this Act may be brought to an end at any time by not less than one month’s notice in writing given by the tenant to the immediate landlord, whether the notice is given after or before the term date of the tenancy. (3) The fact that the landlord has given a notice under subsection (1) of the last foregoing section, or that the tenant has elected to retain possession, shall not prevent the tenant from giving a notice terminating the tenancy at a date earlier than the date of termination specified in the landlord’s notice.

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.
