520			_aDiscusses obstacles to landlords seeking possession of a property. Makes particular reference to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA). Reports on the case of Lewisham v Malcolm (L143153). This considered the case of a council tenant who had lost his protected tenancy status through subletting, which was against the terms of his tenancy. His defence rested upon his diagnosis of schizophrenia, which caused him to make irrational decisions. His appeal against possession proceedings was successful but his protected tenancy was not restored. Warns that possession proceedings can fall foul of the DDA even where tenancy conditions have been breached.
