Local authorities may work with private landlords and private registered providers of social housing to deliver temporary accommodation for households owed the main housing duty. Once the local authority ends the duty (either by an offer of settled accommodation or for another specified reason) or no longer requires the property to provide temporary accommodation for that household (for example because a different property has been identified for the household), landlords may seek to evict tenants. This practice ensures a continued supply of temporary accommodation. Landlords must have a clear mechanism to gain possession in these circumstances to enable this practice to continue.
	This possession ground is only applicable where the main housing duty as defined under section 193 of the Housing Act 1996 has ever applied. It does not apply to other homelessness duties (which include "interim" and "relief").
