Paragraph 9 amends the existing Ground 4 to remove the reference to fixed terms and the requirement for landlords to give prior notice to the tenant to use the ground. This has been replaced by new "prior notice" requirements set out in section 12. Prior notice must have been provided to the previous tenant if the current tenancy arose by succession under Case 14 of Schedule 15 to the Rent Act 1977. The ground cannot be used if the tenancy is an assured agricultural occupancy in respect of which the agricultural worker condition, under paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 of the Housing Act 1988, has been fulfilled.
