1. For a dwelling house to be reasonably required it must be the subject of a genuine present need on the part of the landlord; per Stephenson L.J. in Kennealy v. Dunne (1977) 1 QB 837 at 844. The word 'need' connotes some element of necessity. 'Reasonable requirement' is something more than desire although at the same time something less than absolutely necessity will do.
