  "text": "(1) This paragraph applies if—\n(a) A occupies premises under a tenancy,\n(b) A is proposing to make an alteration to the premises so as to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments, and\n(c) but for this paragraph, A would not be entitled to make the alteration.\n(2) This paragraph also applies if—\n(a) A is a responsible person in relation to common parts,\n(b) A is proposing to make an alteration to the common parts so as to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments,\n(c) A is the tenant of property which includes the common parts, and\n(d) but for this paragraph, A would not be entitled to make the alteration.\n(3) The tenancy has effect as if it provided—\n(a) for A to be entitled to make the alteration with the written consent of the landlord,\n(b) for A to have to make a written application for that consent,\n(c) for the landlord not to withhold the consent unreasonably, and\n(d) for the landlord to be able to give the consent subject to reasonable conditions.\n(4) If a question arises as to whether A has made the alteration (and, accordingly, complied with a duty to make reasonable adjustments), any constraint attributable to the tenancy must be ignored unless A has applied to the landlord in writing for consent to the alteration.\n(5) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) or (2), A must be treated as not entitled to make the alteration if the tenancy—\n(a) imposes conditions which are to apply if A makes an alteration, or\n(b) entitles the landlord to attach conditions to a consent to the alteration.",
