Some private registered providers of social housing offer employment-related tenancies, such as housing for "key workers", or housing linked to a specific profession or income bracket. These landlords have properties that they generally intend to use for this purpose and this new ground allows the landlord to evict tenants who previously met the employment-related eligibility criteria but no longer do. This helps to maintain supply for new eligible workers.
	The landlord will not need to demonstrate that the housing is needed for a different worker in order to gain possession. This is because some of these types of properties may be let subject to the condition that they can only be occupied by tenants meeting the relevant criteria so the landlord needs to gain possession when the tenant no longer meets those criteria.
Example: Tenant no longer meeting employment-related eligibility criteria
An NHS trust works in partnership with a private registered provider to develop and let property on NHS-owned land to employees of the trust. This arrangement is based on an agreement that when tenants no longer meet the employment-related eligibility criteria, the housing provider will gain vacant possession of the property to allow for it to respond flexibly to demand from eligible workers.
