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
35 Discriminatory terms in a tenancy relating to children or benefits status
(1) A term of a relevant tenancy or regulated tenancy is of no effect so far as the term makes provision (however expressed) prohibiting the tenant from having a child live with or visit them at the dwelling or restricting the circumstances in which the tenant may have a child do so. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply if— (a) the provision is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim, or (b) the landlord or a superior landlord is insured under a contract of insurance— (i) to which section 38 does not apply, and (ii) which contains a term which makes provision (however expressed) requiring the insured to prohibit the tenant from having a child live with or visit them at the dwelling or to restrict the circumstances in which the tenant may have a child live with or visit them at the dwelling, and the provision in the tenancy is a means of preventing the insured from breaching that term. (3) A term of a relevant tenancy or regulated tenancy is of no effect so far as the term makes provision (however expressed) prohibiting the tenant from being a benefits claimant. (4) Subsection (3) does not apply if the landlord or a superior landlord is insured under a contract of insurance— (a) to which section 38 does not apply, and (b) which contains a term which makes provision (however expressed) requiring the insured to prohibit the tenant from being a benefits claimant, and the provision in the tenancy is a means of preventing the insured from breaching that term.

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.
