Antisocial Behaviour
We believe that everybody has the right to a safe place to live
That's why we always take any reports of anti-social behaviour extremely serious

What is anti-social behaviour?

Antisocial behaviour is acting or behaving in a way that causes alarm or distress to a person in another household.

It can include:

  • noise
  • shouting, swearing or fighting
  • intimidation, threats or harassment
  • abusive behaviour, verbal abuse or name calling
  • dumping rubbish
  • drug use or drug dealing
  • hate crime
  • damage to property, vandalism or graffiti.

How can I report anti-social behaviour?

We understand that it’s not always as easy as having a chat and there are times when things might get out of hand. That’s when you need to take further action to sort out the problem as quickly as possible.

CCTV 

Ring Doorbells / CCTV systems - Tenants must ask for permission for these prior to purchasing. If you live in a tennement flat, permission will not be granted. If your neighbour has installed CCTV or a ring doorbell in a tenement flat, you can make a complaint to the ICO - Information Commisioner's Office.

We don't have any legal enforcement powers in relation to the use of CCTV in a domestic setting. 

You can find out more about the use of domestic CCTV systems on the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) website.

After you've reported it

We'll investigate your complaint and if we consider it antisocial behaviour, we will work with your neighbour to change their behaviour. 

If other methods, like speaking to the people involved or have not worked or if the person does not change their behaviour, we may take legal action. 

You can remain anonymous when reporting antisocial behaviour, but this limits our options to resolve the issue
