Independent Living Arrangements for Individuals with Mental Retardation: The Landlords' Perspective.

Salend, Spencer J.; Giek, Karen A.

Mental Retardation, v26 n2 p89-92 Apr 1988

Interviews were conducted with 25 landlords who had rented apartments/rooms to mentally retarded individuals. Although 22 landlords would rent to retarded individuals again, a significant number had experienced some problems because of poor independent living skills, extreme dependence on the landlord, or deviant behavior exhibited by the retarded tenant.
