Whether the landlord intends to occupy the premises and is reasonably able to achieve this intention.

If the landlord's occupation of the premises is to be for the purposes of its business (rather than as a residence), the landlord will need to show that that the business is to be carried on by the landlord or an entity with a sufficiently strong connection with the landlord, e.g. a group company.

This ground cannot be used where the landlord has only had its interest in the premises for less than 5 years prior to the termination of the current tenancy and there have always been business tenancies at the premises during the period of the landlord's ownership.

Occupation through an agent or manager of the landlord's business is sufficient.
