Can anybody help with this problem?
-->We have a block of small industrial units which are let to tenants.
-->There is one ladies toilet cubicle and one gents toilet on an upper
mezzanine level for use by the tenants and their employees.
-->Do we have a duty under part three, as landlords, to upgrade the toilet
to an accessible facility on the ground floor for the benefit of the
tenants visitors who may occasionally use them.
-->The toilets are not in a public area.
-->What happens if a tenant employs someone who needs an accessible cubicle?
-->Do we have a duty to improve the facility because we provide toilets for
users of the units?
-->or is it for the tenant to provide the facility, perhaps with assistance
from Job Centre Plus?
-->There is a capped drain in every unit which the tenants have access to.
clear as mud???
your help would be most appreciated.
regards
Alan Hunt
