(1)For the purposes of sections 24C and 24D, it is never reasonable for a controller of let premises to have to take steps consisting of or including the removal or alteration of a physical feature.
(2)Sections 24C and 24D impose duties only for the purpose of determining whether a person has, for the purposes of section 24A, discriminated against another; and accordingly a breach of any such duty is not actionable as such.

(a)who is a person to whom the premises are let; or
(b)who, although not a person to whom the premises are let, is lawfully under the letting an occupier of the premises.
