Handrail Regulations

Hi, I have a house that I rent out, it was built in 1901 and the tenant has mentioned the height of the handrail makes it illegal. The return on the landing is 860mm and the handrail going up the stairs is 810mm high. Do modern regulations apply in a period property? The tenant has 5 small children.
