Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance

(1)
The Tribunal on the application of a landlord or of the personal representative of a deceased landlord (not being a landlord who has become such landlord by purchasing premises or any interest therein after 1 September 1946) may make an order for the recovery of possession of any domestic premises or for the ejectment of the tenant therefrom where such premises are reasonably required for occupation as a residence for such landlord or for any son or daughter of his over 18 years of age, or, where the landlord is dead, for the surviving spouse, son or daughter over 18 years of age or father or mother of such deceased
landlord:
Provided that no such order shall be made unless the Tribunal is satisfied having regard to all the circumstances of the case, including any alternative accommodation available for the persons for whose occupation the premises are so required or for the tenant, that greater hardship would be caused by refusing to grant the order than by granting it.
(2)
No person obtaining an order for the recovery of possession of or ejectment from any premises under subsection (1) shall within 12 months after the date of such order assign, transfer, sublet or part with the possession of the premises or any part thereof without the previous consent of the Tribunal.
(3)
Where a person has obtained an order for the recovery of
possession of or
ejectment from any premises under the provision of subsection (1) and it is subsequently made to appear to the Tribunal that the order was obtained in bad faith or by the misrepresentation or concealment of material facts or where such person is shown to have acted in breach of the provisions of subsection (2), the Tribunal may order the landlord to pay to the former tenant such sum as may appear to the Tribunal to be sufficient to compensate such tenant for the cost, damage, loss or inconvenience sustained by him as a result of the order for recovery of possession or ejectment.
