To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, (a) what assessment he has made of the extent of barriers faced by disabled leaseholders seeking reasonable adaptions of their homes and communal areas and (b) what steps is he taking to reduce these barriers.
The government recognises how important home adaptations are in enabling older and disabled people to live as independently as possible in a safe and suitable environment.
The Disabled Facilities Grants funds adaptations to improve access to homes, including in respect of communal areas, where applicants satisfy a needs assessment, eligibility criteria and a means test.
The Equality Act 2010 imposes a duty on landlords to allow and make reasonable adjustments to private homes on request from disabled leaseholders. The government keeps under review the commencement of the remaining parts of section 36 of the Equality Act 2010, which would impose a duty on those responsible for common parts of leasehold properties, such as landlords, to make reasonable adjustments to those parts if asked to do so by a disabled leaseholder.

Letting agents and property managers in England are required to belong to a government-approved redress scheme. Landlords or agents who take a deposit in relation to an assured periodic tenancy must protect it in a government-approved tenancy deposit protection scheme. Membership of a scheme and protection of a deposit is a requirement of trading, rather than a wider accreditation of an agent’s conduct or legitimacy
The Government recognises the harm caused when fraudulent operators misuse legitimate schemes. Following recent cases, the Department has worked with tenancy deposit protection providers to strengthen safeguards, including adding a fraud disclaimer to insured deposit protection certificates, enhancing tenant communications about tenancy fraud, and reviewing verification and due diligence checks
We are actively working with National Trading Standards, redress schemes and other approved government schemes to consider whether further verification requirements are needed. My department is also exploring options for further regulation of the property agent sector.
