E124DF2Duty for purposes of section 24A(2) to change practices, terms, etc.
1
Subsection (3) applies where—
a
a controller of let premises has a practice, policy or procedure which has the effect of making it impossible, or unreasonably difficult, for a relevant disabled person—
i
to enjoy the premises, or
ii
to make use of any benefit, or facility, which by reason of the letting is one of which he is entitled to make use, or
b
a term of the letting has that effect,
and (in either case) the conditions specified in subsection (2) are satisfied.
2
Those conditions are—
a
that the practice, policy, procedure or term would not have that effect if the relevant disabled person concerned did not have a disability;
b
that the controller receives a request made by or on behalf of a person to whom the premises are let; and
c
that it is reasonable to regard the request as a request that the controller take steps in order to change the practice, policy, procedure or term so as to stop it having that effect.
3
It is the duty of the controller to take such steps as it is reasonable, in all the circumstances of the case, for him to have to take in order to change the practice, policy, procedure or term so as to stop it having that effect (but see section 24E(1)).
