The ''RTA'' does not cover tenancies in a community care facility under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, in a continuing care facility under the Continuing Care Act, or in a housing-based health facility that provides hospitality support services and personal health care. This may exclude some Assisted Living facilities. Supportive Housing is covered by the ''RTA''. As with any issue of jurisdiction, whether the ''RTA'' applies turns specifically on the facts of a tenancy and on whether any of the exemptions in ''RTA'' s 4. If an accommodation is exempt from the ''RTA'', the resident receives none of the protections under the ''RTA''. | |||
Supportive housing is long-term or permanent living accommodation for individuals who need some support services to live independently. Supports offered on-site by supportive housing providers are non-clinical, and residents are not required to receive supports to maintain their housing. Any policies put in place by supportive housing providers must be consistent with the ''RTA'' and regulations.

The RTA does not cover tenancies in a community care facility under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, in a continuing care facility under the Continuing Care Act, or in a housing-based health facility that provides hospitality support services and personal health care. This may exclude some Assisted Living facilities. Supportive Housing is covered by the RTA. As with any issue of jurisdiction, whether the RTA applies turns specifically on the facts of a tenancy and on whether any of the exemptions in RTA s 4. If an accommodation is exempt from the RTA, the resident receives none of the protections under the RTA.
Supportive housing is long-term or permanent living accommodation for individuals who need some support services to live independently. Supports offered on-site by supportive housing providers are non-clinical, and residents are not required to receive supports to maintain their housing. Any policies put in place by supportive housing providers must be consistent with the RTA and regulations. See Residential Tenancy Policy Guideline 46 for transitional housing, health facilities, and rehabilitative and therapeutic housing.
