I was quite shocked to read this, a bit draconian I must say. If this guy wants to play that game, the villagers should form an angry mob and burn his house to the ground with him and his family inside it.

Although it is very upsetting for the residents the guy is totally within his rights and it will be stated on the title deeds that the landlord can do whatever he wants with the properties and land.
Still though I would be tempted if I could raise myself £6 million!!
