The Disability Discrimination (Sub-leases and Sub-tenancies) Regulations 1996
These Regulations modify and supplement the provisions of section 16 of and Schedule 4 to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 in relation to cases where premises are occupied under a sub-lease or sub-tenancy. Section 16 and paragraph 1 of Schedule 4 are modified so that “lessor” refers to the occupier’s immediate landlord. The effect of this is that any consent to alterations has to be sought from the immediate landlord rather than a superior landlord.
