144 Grounds for relocation (1) The CEO (Housing) may terminate a tenancy agreement in accordance with this Division if the CEO (Housing) offers to relocate the tenant or occupier of the premises to other accommodation because: (a) the premises have more bedrooms than the tenant or occupier needs and the other accommodation would have a suitable number of bedrooms; or (b) the premises do not meet the social, physical, psychological or medical needs of the tenant or occupier and the other accommodation would be better suited to those needs; or (c) the premises or neighbours pose a risk to the health or safety of the tenant or occupier and the other accommodation would be safer. (2) The CEO (Housing) may terminate a tenancy agreement in accordance with this Division if the CEO (Housing) offers to relocate the tenant or occupier of the premises to other accommodation because the tenant or occupier engaged in the following conduct: (a) any unacceptable conduct as specified in section 100(1)(a), (b) or (c); (b) any anti-social behaviour specified in section 28A of the Housing Act 1982. Note for section 144 Section 14(1) of the Housing Act 1982 allows the CEO (Housing) to delegate its powers and functions under this Act.
