The landlord cannot be liable for this action of the tenant.
However, under section 8 of The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 the landlord must not “permit” such activities to continue. This means you must now take some action against the tenant to ensure the activities cease. This would be a section 21 – 2 months – notice.
