This consultation regards the commencement and implementation of the remaining parts of section 36 of the Equality Act 2010.

This legislation will place a duty on landlords to make reasonable adjustments to the common parts of let residential premises when requested by a disabled person.

Disabled people can already make such requests but there is currently no legal duty on the landlord to make reasonable adjustments to common parts.

Before commencement, regulations will be needed to set out how the new arrangements will work. We also propose that guidance will be drafted to help landlords and disabled people to understand their rights and obligations.
