Schedule 21, paragraph 2

This paragraph applies if— a binding obligation requires A to obtain the consent of another person to an alteration of premises which A occupies, where A is a controller of let premises, a binding obligation requires A to obtain the consent of another person to a variation of a term of the tenancy, or where A is a responsible person in relation to common parts, a binding obligation requires A to obtain the consent of another person to an alteration of the common parts. For the purpose of discharging a duty to make reasonable adjustments— it is always reasonable for A to have to take steps to obtain the consent, but it is never reasonable for A to have to make the alteration before the consent is obtained. In this Schedule, a binding obligation is a legally binding obligation in relation to premises, however arising; but the reference to a binding obligation in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (c) does not include a reference to an obligation imposed by a tenancy. The steps referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(a) do not include applying to a court or tribunal.
