One a contract is signed, it is not the landlords property anymore,

What a ridiculous thing to say. Of course it is still the Landlords
property, he/she still owns it! They are just allowing somebody else to
rent it and live there. If it's no longer the landlords property as you say
why then is he responsible for the buildings insurance, gas checks, repairs,
etc. etc. What about the 1000's of Council and Housing Association
properties out there are you then saying every council tenant is a home
owner?

until the contract expires and the landlord "gains possession" or a court
order gives the property back to the landlord, and only then when he "gains
possession".

Now that sounds better, the property is not in the landlords possession,
whilst the tenant lives there.
