Housing Act 1988
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
16B Requests for consent to keep a pet: further provision
(1) For the purposes of section 16A, a tenant keeps a pet at a dwelling-house if the tenant permits the pet to live at the dwelling-house (whether or not the tenant is the owner of the pet). (2) Section 16A does not limit the terms that may be agreed in relation to the presence at the dwelling-house of pets which do not live there. (3) The tenant’s request under section 16A must— (a) be in writing; (b) include a description of the pet for which consent is sought. (4) The circumstances in which it is reasonable for a landlord to refuse consent include those in which— (a) the pet being kept at the dwelling-house would cause the landlord to be in breach of an agreement with a superior landlord; (b) an agreement between the landlord and a superior landlord prohibits the keeping of a pet at the dwelling-house without consent of the superior landlord, and the landlord has taken reasonable steps to obtain that consent but the superior landlord has not given it. (5) In proceedings in which a tenant alleges that the landlord has breached the implied term created by section 16A, the court may order specific performance of the obligation.

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.
