These Regulations modify and supplement the provisions of section 16 of and Schedule 4 to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 as it applies in Northern Ireland by virtue of section 70(6) and Schedule 8 thereof, in relation to cases where premises are occupied under a sub-lease or sub-tenancy. Section 16 and paragraph 1 of Schedule 4 are modified so that “lessor” refers to the occupier’s immediate landlord. The effect of this is that any consent to alterations has to be sought from the immediate landlord rather than a superior landlord.
