If my tenant requests property modifications for disability access, what are my legal obligations as a UK landlord under the Equality Act, and who covers the cost?
Quick Answer
UK landlords must permit disabled tenants to make reasonable adjustments for access, but are generally not obligated to fund physical modifications themselves. Tenants typically bear the cost and may need to restore the property when vacating.
