This paragraph applies if—

where A is a controller of let premises, a binding obligation requires A to obtain the consent of another person to a variation of a term of the tenancy, or

where A is a responsible person in relation to common parts, a binding obligation requires A to obtain the consent of another person to an alteration of the common parts.

For the purpose of discharging a duty to make reasonable adjustments—

it is always reasonable for A to have to take steps to obtain the consent, but
