Propose a change

Rent (Scotland) Act 1984

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

77 Jurisdiction of the First-tier Tribunal.

Where a Part VII contract is referred to the First-tier Tribunal under this Part of this Act and— (a) the contract relates to a dwelling-house consisting of or comprising part only of lands and heritages, and (b) no apportionment of the rateable value of the lands and heritages has been made under section 7 above, then, unless the lessor in the course of the proceedings requires that such an apportionment shall be made and, within two weeks of making the requirement, brings proceedings in the First-tier Tribunal for the making of the apportionment, the First-tier Tribunal shall have jurisdiction to deal with the reference if it appears to it that, had the apportionment been made, it would have had jurisdiction.

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.
