Hi can a landlord legally evict you for disclosing a recent conviction in line with your tenancy agreement for a historical offence that happened when you were 14.

Hi

I was asked this and on investigating it was because of a clause in their buildings insurance policy and so they sometimes have to disclose. It happened to me when I purchased a flat as was in the leasehold agreement. In this case the clause is just being passed down.

We all know what insurance companies are like.

What is the exact wording in your tenancy agreement around disclosing?
