Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to enforce section 36 and Schedule 4 of the Equality Act 2010, to ensure landlords cannot unreasonably deny disabled access adaptations to communal areas.

The government is considering the remaining parts of section 36 and associated Schedules.

These provisions would impose a duty on those responsible for common parts of leasehold properties, such as landlords, to make reasonable adjustments to those parts if asked to do so by a disabled tenant and if, after consultation, the landlord concluded that it would be reasonable to do so. This would apply in England and Wales.
