I cannot see how one would, and it would be difficult to, prove those three conditions. One would have to go through the sales process. I am trying to think this one through. If a landlord is saying he or she wants to evict more than ten tenancies at one time and is prevented from doing so because of the Tyrrelstown amendment, and the landlord wants to pursue it, the landlord has to claim one of these. It would be quite hard to prove and demonstrate that the selling price will be affected by more than 20%. That is a quantifiable measure. The only way one could prove it is by putting it out on the market, but one would have to be able to put it out on the market with vacant possession and occupied. Is it not impossible to prove?
