Beedles v Guinness Northern Counties Ltd (Equality and Human Rights Commission intervening) [2011] EWCA Civ 442; [2011] WLR (D) 143

“Where a lease provided for quiet enjoyment that meant an ability to use the premises in an ordinary lawful way. Consequently where a disabled tenant requested a service from his landlord such as repair or redecoration the court had to assess whether the provision of that service would enable him to live as would any other typical tenant in the premises.”
