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
As published
191 Secure tenancies: withholding of consent to mutual exchange
(1) In Schedule 3 to the Housing Act 1985 (c. 68) (grounds for withholding consent to assignment by way of exchange) after Ground 2 insert—
Ground 2A
Either—
(a) a relevant order or suspended Ground 2 or 14 possession order is in force, or
(b) an application is pending before any court for a relevant order, a demotion order or a Ground 2 or 14 possession order to be made,
in respect of the tenant or the proposed assignee or a person who is residing with either of them.
A “relevant order” means—
an injunction under section 152 of the Housing Act 1996 (injunctions against anti-social behaviour);
an injunction to which a power of arrest is attached by virtue of section 153 of that Act (other injunctions against anti-social behaviour);
an injunction under section 153A, 153B or 153D of that Act (injunctions against anti-social behaviour on application of certain social landlords);
an anti-social behaviour order under section 1 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998; or
an injunction to which a power of arrest is attached by virtue of section 91 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003.
A “demotion order” means a demotion order under section 82A of this Act or section 6A of the Housing Act 1988.
A “Ground 2 or 14 possession order” means an order for possession under Ground 2 in Schedule 2 to this Act or Ground 14 in Schedule 2 to the Housing Act 1988.
Where the tenancy of the tenant or the proposed assignee is a joint tenancy, any reference to that person includes (where the context permits) a reference to any of the joint tenants.
(2) The amendment made by this section applies in relation to applications for consent under section 92 of that Act (assignments by way of exchange) which are made on or after the day on which this section comes into force.

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.
