There is no existing ground for possession under Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988 for use where a superior lease comes to an end. When a superior lease agreement ends, an intermediate landlord may be required to provide vacant possession of dwellings let on assured tenancies. A ground is needed to ensure these intermediate landlords can comply with the terms of their superior lease.
