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
75 Qualifying tenants
(1) This section specifies whether there is a qualifying tenant of a flat for the purposes of this Chapter and, if so, who it is. (2) Subject as follows, a person is the qualifying tenant of a flat if he is tenant of the flat under a long lease. (3) Subsection (2) does not apply where the lease is a tenancy to which Part 2 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (c. 56) (business tenancies) applies. (4) Subsection (2) does not apply where— (a) the lease was granted by sub-demise out of a superior lease other than a long lease, (b) the grant was made in breach of the terms of the superior lease, and (c) there has been no waiver of the breach by the superior landlord. (5) No flat has more than one qualifying tenant at any one time; and subsections (6) and (7) apply accordingly. (6) Where a flat is being let under two or more long leases, a tenant under any of those leases which is superior to that held by another is not the qualifying tenant of the flat. (7) Where a flat is being let to joint tenants under a long lease, the joint tenants shall (subject to subsection (6)) be regarded as jointly being the qualifying tenant of the flat.

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.
