  I think all landlords should beware of new landlord  legislation.

My HMO tenant of many years refuses to leave after a S21 was served on him and the judge threw it out 

The house was my residential house and is now empty except for the one tenant.

He has consistently refused to sign a new tenancy or let me raise his rent in line with current rents. . I cannot evict him from the house  using the current  AST S21

I am going to move back in and i find my family and children  have a lodger for life

Other landlords have the same problem

I have been renting for 40 years to families with no problems and this one single man has forced me to reconsider my business.
I  am now selling everything up - Except my residential house with its permanent lodger.

This is nonsense. Sort yourself out.

What aspect of the "new" landlord legislation is preventing you evict this tenant. 
I may have missed something but you did not really explain yourself.

Even if there is an insurmountable problem with Section 21, why not go down the Section 8, Ground 1 route if it was your home before and you're moving back in?

He doesn't let you raise the rent.  You raise it.  He doesn't pay, goes into arrears and you use section 8.

Did you protect his deposit ?

Sorry for bumping this. Didn't check the date on it.
