Summary

In this case the landlord relied predominantly on the ‘some other reason’ ground (rather than other breaches of covenant). The parties had a long history of being in serial litigation, particularly over the use of a right of way connected with the property. The parties agreed that the relationship had broken down between them. The court found that it was not fair to saddle the landlord with this tenant and exercised its discretion not to grant a new tenancy in these circumstances.
