Baroness Noakes
It is my understanding that you cannot just throw tenants out nowadays; it is a rather more complicated process.
Lord Dixon-Smith
My Lords, my noble friend has a serious point. If the tenant seriously objects, it is completely wrong to hold the landlord responsible for that individual decision. It may be uncomfortable, but that is the reality. Otherwise, we have a form of compulsion that is wholly inappropriate.
