Hi, I would appreciate some advice on the following scenario. If a landlord lets out a premises to multiple commerical (office) tenants. Who is responsible for paying for and implementing any special measures which may be required in the communal areas for disabled persons who may be recruited by one of the tenants. In particular I am thinking of measures which may be required to assist in evacuating a disabled person via the communal areas (subject to risk assessment). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would also appreciate being pointed in the direction of the correct parts of any legislation. Many Thanks, James

The tenant has the whole office area on the floor but the stairs/landing is communal. Would the landlord not be required to make 'reasonable adjustments' under the DDA within the common areas, cost allocation to be determined in the lease?

Thank you Chris, Could anyone advise what reourse the tenant would have if the landlord failed to implement the 'reasonable adjustments' which had been requested. Is it usual practice for the landlord to ask the tenant to contribute if he/she thinks that the adjustments recommended are not reasonable? Many Thanks,
