158 Secure and assured tenancies: transfer of tenancy
(1) This section applies if the tenants (“the relevant tenants”) under two or more tenancies of dwelling-houses in England (“the existing tenancies”) make a request in writing to the landlord under each existing tenancy asking the landlord to—
(a) permit the relevant tenant or tenants under the existing tenancy to surrender it, and
(b) grant a new tenancy of the dwelling-house let under the tenancy to another relevant tenant or other relevant tenants.
(2) The landlord must comply with the request if the following conditions are met.
(3) The first condition is that at least one of the existing tenancies is—
(a) a secure tenancy that is not a flexible tenancy, or
(b) an assured tenancy—
(i) which is not an assured shorthold tenancy, and
(ii) under which the landlord is the Regulator of Social Housing, a private registered provider of social housing or a housing trust which is a charity.
(4) The second condition is that at least one of the existing tenancies is—
(a) a secure tenancy that is a flexible tenancy, or
(b) an assured shorthold tenancy under which the landlord is the Regulator of Social Housing, a private registered provider of social housing or a housing trust which is a charity.
(5) The third condition is that the remaining existing tenancies (if any) fall within subsection (3) or (4).
(6) The fourth condition is that at least one of the existing tenancies to which subsection (3) applies was granted before the day on which this section came into force.
(7) The fifth condition is that none of the landlords under the existing tenancies has refused to comply with the request (and see further section 159).

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.
