Anti-Social Behaviour - Council Tenants

We want all of our neighbourhoods to live together in harmony. As a tenant, you are responsible for your behaviour and that of your family and visitors, both in your home and in your neighbourhood.

Being a good neighbour

If you, your friends or relatives or any other person living in or visiting your property causes a nuisance to others, or do anything that interferes with the peace, comfort or convenience of other people, you are breaking the conditions of your tenancy agreement.

Anti-social behaviour is defined in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 as:

"Acting in a manner that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household"

Examples of anti-social behaviour include:

• Using the property for any criminal, immoral or illegal purpose including selling, producing or using any illegal drugs or using the property to store stolen goods
• Harassment/intimidation
• Animal nuisance
• Abandoned vehicles
• Criminal damage, including graffiti
• Serious noise problems
• Verbal abuse
• Racial/domestic abuse
• Inappropriate parking of vehicles

• Our aim:
• Reporting Anti social Behaviour
• Examples of action
