Propose a change

Renters’ Rights Act 2025

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

146 Existing assured tenancies to continue as section 4A assured tenancies

(1) The commencement of Chapter 1 of Part 1 (which, in particular, has the effect that, on the commencement date, an existing tenancy becomes a section 4A assured tenancy) does not affect the continuation of an existing tenancy on and after the commencement date (as a section 4A assured tenancy that is subject to the other provisions of that Chapter). (2) Schedule 6 contains transitional provision. (3) In this section— “commencement date” means the day on which Chapter 1 of Part 1 comes into force in accordance with section 145 (and accordingly where different days are appointed for different purposes in relation to that Chapter, a reference in this Act to the commencement date is a reference to the day on which that Chapter comes into force for the purposes of the tenancy to which the reference relates); “existing tenancy” means an assured tenancy which is entered into before the commencement date; “section 4A assured tenancy” means an assured tenancy to which section 4A of the 1988 Act (as inserted by section 1 of this Act) applies.

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.
