Landlords panic as they think might lose a chink of their armour. They can evict tenants by the power of thought (almost…) and so any notion that tenants rights are being enforced. Heaven forfend!!!!

Eviction by the power of thought? Hmmmmmm. Ever tried to regain possession on discretional grounds? We have. Several months and several thousand pounds later we got a conditional possession order. The tenant is still there and continues to break the conditions but we know if we apply for posession he’ll launch another defence and it will end up in court again which the landlord can’t afford.

The words used by Jamie are interesting. He used the phrase “we got a conditional possession order” and then “the landlord can’t afford”. A discretionary ground is based upon facts and evidence; if the facts and evidence are defended then it may be that the evidence was not sufficient. That could be a matter of a failure on Jamie’s part in terms of making the case. If this was an AST then the normal best advice is to issue under S21 rather than S8 and then to obtain a manadatory order. Discretionary is just that – the Court is not bound to make an order
