As I outlined in Committee, the Government have promised already to take action that will improve matters for disabled tenants. We intend to use the new written statement of terms to set out the duty on landlords not to unreasonably refuse disability adaptation requests from tenants. We have pledged to work with the disability sector to raise awareness of disabled tenants’ rights and to explore the updating of guidance. I feel that these combined measures will be a simpler and more practical solution to the issue that the noble Baroness, Lady Jones, raises.
