Paragraph 12 introduces a new ground, which will require the court to award possession when a landlord requires the property to house an agricultural worker. The ground can be used to gain possession to house seasonal or permanent agricultural workers (employed by the landlord or, where there are joint landlords, one of the joint landlords). Alternatively, where the employer or contractor is not the landlord, the worker must be working wholly or mainly for the landlord and the landlord must also intend the work to continue for at least six months after the date on the notice.
