Landlord and Tenant (War Damage) Act 1939
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.

20 Provision as to notices.
(1) Any notice required or authorised to be served under this Act shall be in writing. (2) Any such notice may be served either— (a) by delivering it to the person on whom it is to be served; or (b) by leaving it at the usual or last known place of abode of that person; or (c) by sending it in a prepaid registered letter addressed to that person at his usual or last known place of abode; or (d) in a case where it is to be served on a body corporate, by delivering it to the secretary or clerk thereof at the registered or principal office thereof or sending it in a prepaid registered letter addressed to the secretary or clerk thereof at that office; or (e) in such other manner as the court on an application made in that behalf may direct. (3) Where the interest of a former landlord or tenant in the land comprised in a lease has passed to any person— (a) service of any such notice on that former landlord or tenant by a person who does not know and has no reason to believe that the interest has passed, shall be treated for the purpose of this Act as service on the person to whom the interest has passed; (b) the former landlord or tenant, on the receipt of any such notice, shall forthwith serve the notice on the person to whom the interest has passed, and, if he fails to do so, shall be liable to make good to any other person any damage suffered by that other person by reason of the failure. (4) A notice with respect to a lease shall be deemed for the purposes of this Act to have been served on the landlord if it is served on any person for the time being authorised by the landlord to receive the rent payable under the lease.

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.
