The second paper from a three-year project on Housing and Social Inclusion led by the NDTi. The briefing summarises the findings from a project to create a which aimed to provide a simple tool to help them address the issue of housing rights for people with learning disabilities. The Real Tenancy Test is a quick test to be used in supported living and tenancy based supported housing to determine if real tenancy rights are being met. It is designed to get an understanding of whether a tenancy in supported living gives real tenancy rights. It describes important things to consider when planning housing and tenancies for people, including when to use different types of tenancies and how to handle issues of capacity. It says that for the tenancy to be genuine, the following should be happening: a tenancy agreement is in place; the tenant has control over where they live; the tenant has control over who they live with; the tenant has control over who supports them and how they are supported; and the tenant has control over what happens in their home.
