Ground 2ZA is restricted to agricultural landlords, private registered providers of social housing, supported accommodation providers and companies where a local authority owns at least 50% of the issued share capital. Ground 2ZC is restricted to where the intermediate landlord was an agricultural landlord, private registered provider of social housing, supported accommodation provider or company where a local authority owned at least 50% of the issued share capital before the tenancy reverted under section 18 of the Housing Act 1988. The government has considered it necessary to restrict these grounds to a narrow set of landlords in order to prevent abuse by, for example, unscrupulous landlords seeking to replicate section 21 evictions through creating superior landlord arrangements.
	Ground 5C permits landlords to end a tenancy where the tenant is given a tenancy as a consequence of their employment by the landlord and where that employment has ended or when a tenancy granted in consequence of their employment was never meant to last for the duration of their employment by the landlord.
	Ground 5E allows landlords to gain possession where it is needed to return the property to use as supported accommodation. The ground can only be applied in cases where the property is usually intended to be used as supported housing and the current tenancy was not granted for that purpose.
	Ground 6B provides that landlords can regain possession when they are subject to enforcement action and evicting a tenant is the only way to comply with that enforcement action. This includes, for example, when a property is overcrowded or an HMO licence has been revoked.
	Ground 5F provides for supported accommodation providers to end a tenancy in limited circumstances, including where the tenant’s needs have changed, the tenancy was provided as "move-on accommodation" or where it is necessary to enable the provider to continue to operate safely or effectively. Use of these grounds will only be available to landlords who provide supported accommodation or managed accommodation.
	Ground 7 allows landlords to take possession of a tenancy that has been passed to someone else by will or intestacy (where there is no will). The Act amends this to prevent it being used where the inheriting person lived in the property immediately before the deceased tenant died, unless the tenancy is a "special tenancy".
	Ground 18 provides that providers of supported accommodation (as defined in Part 5 of Schedule 2 of the Act), may end a tenancy where the tenant is unreasonably refusing to cooperate with the support services provided. Use of this ground is subject to the discretion of the courts.
