As published

15 Protection of tenure of furnished, and certain other, rented premises, by extension of the Furnished Houses (Rent Control) Act.

(1) Subject to subsection (2) of the last preceding section, where at any time during a service man’s period of residence protection. (a) the rented family residence is let under the tenancy qualifying for protection either on such terms as are mentioned in section 19(2) of the Rent Act 1977 (which relates to premises let in consideration of a rent which includes payment for the use of furniture or for services) or on terms of sharing with the lessor, and (b) a notice to quit has been served by the lessor on the lessee (whether after or before the beginning of the period of protection) and the notice has not expired, but (c) the condition specified in subsection 1(b) of section 104 of the Rent Act 1977 is not fulfilled, the said section 104 shall apply in relation to the notice to quit as if that condition had been fulfilled as to the contract under which that tenancy subsists. (1A) This section does not apply in relation to any tenancy entered into after the commencement of section 69(2) of the Housing Act 1980. (2) The reference in paragraph (a) of the preceding subsection to a letting on terms of sharing with the lessor is a reference to a letting under which— (a) the lessee has the exclusive occupation of some accommodation (in this subsection referred to as “the separate accommodation”); (b) he has the use of other accommodation in common with the lessor or with the lessor and other persons; and (c) the accommodation mentioned in the last preceding paragraph is or includes accommodation of such a nature that the circumstance specified in that paragraph is sufficient to prevent the separate accommodation from being a dwelling-house let on or subject to a protected tenancy or statutory tenancy within the meaning of the Rent Act 1977, whether apart from that circumstance it would be such a dwelling-house or not. (3) The subsistence of a Crown interest in premises shall not affect the operation of this section, if the reversion immediately expectant on the tenancy in question is not a Crown interest, but nothing in this subsection shall be construed as excluding the operation of this Part of this Act in cases where there subsists a Crown interest not being the reversion immediately expectant on the tenancy in question. (4) References in the said section 104 to that section shall be construed as including references to the preceding provisions of this section and to the said section 104 as extended by those provisions. (5) Nothing in the preceding provisions of this section shall be construed as rendering the said section 104 applicable in a case in which the contract under which the tenancy in question subsists is excluded from being a restricted contract (within the meaning of the Rent Act 1977) by paragraph 17 of Schedule 24 to that Act.

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.
