Patricia Whitehouse v Dr A. H. Loi Lee [electronic resource]
- 2009
[2009] EWCA Civ 375, 14 May 2009. Concerns an appeal against an order made in the Central London County Court that W and her husband should give up possession of a flat in which they had lived since 1963 as tenants protected by the Rent Act 1977. The landlord (L) was seeking possession on the ground that suitable alternative accommodation was available, as she wanted to sell the property with vacant possession. W and her husband, however, did not want to move and did not like the alternative property offered. "Held": appeal allowed. The social and emotional effects for W of moving to a new neighbourhood away from the home in which she and her husband had lived for so long outweighed the arguments put forward by L, and meant that the order for possession was not reasonable.
