But this legislative shift should be viewed as a gain in clarity, not a loss of control for landlords. The introduction of 8 new, clearly defined grounds for possession provides a more robust and defensible framework. These grounds are split into Mandatory (e.g., selling the property, significant rent arrears) and Discretionary (e.g., breach of tenancy, antisocial b
