Mandatory Eviction Grounds. If the Tribunal is satisfied that any of the mandatory eviction grounds exists, it must issue an eviction order. The eight mandatory grounds are: • The Landlord intends to sell the Let Property for market value within three months of the Tenant ceasing to occupy it. • Let Property to be sold by the mortgage lender. • The Landlord intends to refurbish and this will entail significantly disruptive works to, or in relation to, the Let Property. • The Landlord intends to live in the Let Property as his or her only or principal home. • The Landlord intends to use the Let Property for a purpose other than providing a person with a home. • The Let Property is held for a person engaged in the work of a religious denomination as a residence from which the duties of such a person are to be performed; the Let Property has previously been used for that purpose; and the Let Property is required for that purpose. • The Tenant is not occupying the Let Property as his or her only or principal home or has abandoned the Let Property. • After the start date of the tenancy, the Tenant is convicted of using, or allowing the use of, the Let Property for an immoral or illegal purpose, or is convicted of an imprisonable offence committed in or in the locality of the Let Property. The application must usually be made within 12 months of the Tenant’s conviction.

The Landlord intends to refurbish and this will entail significantly disruptive works to, or in relation to, the Let Property. The Landlord intends to live in the Let Property as his or her only or principal home. The Landlord intends to use the Let Property for a purpose other than providing a person with a home.

The Tenant is not occupying the Let Property as his or her only or principal home or has abandoned the Let Property. After the start date of the tenancy, the Tenant is convicted of using, or allowing the use of, the Let Property for an immoral or illegal purpose, or is convicted of an imprisonable offence committed in or in the locality of the Let Property. The application must usually be made within 12 months of the Tenant’s conviction. Discretionary Eviction Grounds Even if the Tribunal is satisfied that a discretionary ground exists, it will still have discretion on whether to issue an eviction order. The eight discretionary grounds are: A member of the Landlord’s family intends to live in the Let Property as his or her only or principal home. The tenancy was entered into on account of the Tenant having an assessed need for community care and the Tenant has since been assessed as no longer having such need. The Tenant has breached the tenancy agreement – this excludes the payment of rent. The Tenant has acted in an antisocial manner to another person and the Tribunal is satisfied that it is reasonable to issue an eviction order given the nature of the behaviour and who it was in relation to or where it occurred. The application must usually be made within 12 months of the antisocial behaviour occurring.
