Anti-social behaviour
You are responsible for the behaviour of everyone, including children, who lives in or visits your home. This includes how people behave in your home, on surrounding land, in shared areas, in any of our properties and throughout your local community.
We are committed to taking action against tenants who are responsible for anti-social behaviour. We do this by working closely with the police and other agencies to investigate and efficiently tackle anti-social behaviour.

Examples include:
- Racial harassment

- Aggressive and threatening behaviour
- Drug/substance misuse and/or dealing
- Intimidation and/or harassment
- Verbal abuse
- Damage or threat of damage to property
- Graffiti
- Noise nuisance
- Stalking or unwanted attention
- Youths congregating in an intimidating way
- Fly-tipping (illegal dumping of rubbish)
- Nuisance caused by pets
- Inconsiderate parking of vehicles
- Abandoned vehicles
Who can help?
Our anti-social behaviour advice pack [pdf] 270KB gives you advice about what you can do to tackle anti-social behaviour. If you are a tenant and you are experiencing anti-social behaviour you can report it in the following ways:
Report on-line

Once logged, the report will go to an ASB specialist who will respond to you directly. The speed of the initial response will depend on the priority given to your report.
When reporting online please give as much information as possible about the incident including; the date, time, location, details of what happened and how it made you feel.
