Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002
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
17 Leasing: residential
(1) It shall not be possible to create a term of years absolute in a residential commonhold unit unless the term satisfies prescribed conditions. (2) The conditions may relate to— (a) length; (b) the circumstances in which the term is granted; (c) any other matter. (3) Subject to subsection (4), an instrument or agreement shall be of no effect to the extent that it purports to create a term of years in contravention of subsection (1). (4) Where an instrument or agreement purports to create a term of years in contravention of subsection (1) a party to the instrument or agreement may apply to the court for an order— (a) providing for the instrument or agreement to have effect as if it provided for the creation of a term of years of a specified kind; (b) providing for the return or payment of money; (c) making such other provision as the court thinks appropriate. (5) A commonhold unit is residential if provision made in the commonhold community statement by virtue of section 14(1) requires it to be used only— (a) for residential purposes, or (b) for residential and other incidental purposes.

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.

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.
