Antisocial behaviour
Antisocial behaviour is defined by law
as ‘that which caused or was likely to cause alarm or distress to one
or more persons not of the same household’. The term antisocial
behaviour covers any kind of nuisance, unreasonable behaviour or
harassment. We are committed to working with residents to stop
harassment and other forms of antisocial behaviour.
We
may take action against any tenant or leaseholder who is responsible
for antisocial behaviour. This action can lead to eviction, whether you
are a tenant or a leaseholder. The behaviour of your family, lodgers,
tenants or your visitors can also lead to us taking action against you.
Tenants or leaseholders evicted for antisocial behaviour are unlikely
to be rehoused by the council.
If
you experience nuisance from your neighbours, tell us about it. If they
are tenants, we may be able to take action against them. If they are
not tenants, we will work with you to try and stop the nuisance.
