Landlord and tenant – Disability discrimination – Landlord’s duties – Reasonable adjustments

Andrew Smailes (1) and Stacey Poyner-Smailes (2) v Clewer Court Residents Ltd [2019] (Unreported) (Cardiff County Court) (HHJ Jarman QC) (30 January 2019)

We mention this case in brief. It concerns a lease of residential premises but the underlying legal principles will apply to mixed-use schemes and also to commercial premises. So far as we can ascertain there have been few decided cases concerning a landlord’s obligations where its tenant is under a disability.
