Rent Act 1974
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.

5 Transitional provisions affecting furnished lettings which become furnished tenancies.
(1) In any case where— (a) immediately before the commencement date a dwelling is subject to a furnished letting and a rent is registered for that dwelling under the relevant Part of the Rent Act, and (b) on the commencement date that furnished letting becomes a protected furnished tenancy by virtue of section 1 above, the amount which is so registered under the relevant Part of the Rent Act shall be deemed to be registered under Part IV of that Act as the rent for the dwelling-house which is let on that tenancy, and that registration shall be deemed to take effect on the commencement date. (2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , section 40(3) of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1971 (no application for registration of a different rent to be made within 3 years of the last registration) shall not apply to an application for the registration under Part IV of the Rent Act of a rent different from that which is deemed to be registered as mentioned in subsection (1) above. (3) The reference in . . . , section 41(1)(b) of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1971 (certificates of fair rent) to a rent being registered for a dwelling-house does not include a rent which is deemed to be registered as mentioned in subsection (1) above. (4) In any case where— (a) before the commencement date a notice to quit had been served in respect of a dwelling to which a furnished letting then related, and (b) the period at the end of which that notice to quit takes effect had, before the commencement date, been extended under the relevant Part of the Rent Act, and (c) that period has not expired before the commencement date, and (d) on the commencement date the furnished letting becomes a protected furnished tenancy by virtue of section 1 above, the notice to quit shall take effect on the day following the commencement date (whenever it would otherwise take effect) and, accordingly, on that day the protected furnished tenancy shall become a statutory furnished tenancy.

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.
