​Unlawful sub-letting: the "Only or Principal Home" test

Details

Stefan Liberadzki and Andrew Carter introduce our Social Housing Webinar series by discussing the keystone of any unlawful sub-letting case: whether the tenant is no longer using the property as their only or principal home. They review the established case law, explore how the case law is applied in practice, and discuss how best to present the evidence in Court.
