What decided it
The material gaps in tenancy agreement evidence (one year from 2017-2018 and four to five months prior to the application date) combined with the absence of corroborating primary documentation such as utility bills or council tax records meant the appellant could not establish continuous residential occupation for the requisite four-year period.
