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.
Change 1
21 Notices to quit by tenants under assured tenancies: other
After section 5 of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 insert— Notices to quit by tenants under assured tenancies 5A (1) Any provision that would bind a tenant as to the means of giving a notice in writing to quit premises let under an assured tenancy is of no effect. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1) the “means of giving a notice in writing” is the mode by which the words of the notice are represented or reproduced in a visible form. (3) A notice by a tenant to quit premises let under an assured tenancy may be withdrawn before the date on which it takes effect by the tenant and landlord agreeing in writing to the withdrawal. (4) In the case of a joint assured tenancy, an agreement under subsection (3) is not valid unless it is made between the landlord and all of the tenants. (5) That does not affect the validity of any notice to quit premises let under a joint assured tenancy that is given by only one or some of the tenants. (6) In this section “joint assured tenancy” means an assured tenancy where two or more persons are tenants under the tenancy.

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.
