In "Westminster CC v Clarke" HL 6 February 1992, it was held that a person occuping accommodation provided by the Council under the Housing Act 1985 s65(2) in hostel room did not have exclusive possession of the room and was therefore not a secure tenant where the nature and use of the hostel required the council to retain possession of all rooms. Under these circumstances, the tenant was only a licencee with rights corresponding to those of a lodger.
