F2The dwelling-house was occupied (whether alone or with others) by a married couple or a couple living together as husband and wife and—
one or both of the partners is a tenant of the dwelling-house,
the landlord who is seeking possession is a registered social landlord or a charitable housing trust,

that partner, or
a member of the family of that partner who was residing with that partner immediately before the partner left, and
the court is satisfied that the partner who has left is unlikely to return.
For the purposes of this ground “registered social landlord” and “member of the family” have the same meaning as in Part I of the M1Housing Act 1996 and “charitable housing trust” means a housing trust, within the meaning of the M2Housing Associations Act 1985, which is a charity within the meaning of the Charities Act 1993.
