Anti Social Behaviour

Anti-social behaviour and neighbour nuisance can cause considerable distress to residents and Saffron is committed to tackling this behaviour fairly and effectively to help ensure that tenants can enjoy peace, quiet and security in their homes.

We will take firm, prompt and appropriate action in dealing with disruptive tenants and other persons causing Anti Social Behaviour (ASB), nuisance or harassment on estates or in individual dwellings. We will not tolerate anti-social behaviour and will make this clear to tenants and to any person who is seeking a tenancy.

What is Anti-Social behaviour?

This can take a number of forms ranging from serious acts of violence and
harassment to overgrown gardens, some examples are shown below:

• Violence or threats of violence;
• Abusive or insulting words or behaviour;
• Condition of home and/or garden
• Nuisance caused by animals barking or fouling
• Damage or threat of damage to property belonging to another person;
• Writing graffiti
• Intimidation and harassment including the targeting of groups because of their perceived differences;
• Use of the property to sell drugs or for other unlawful purposes.
• Making an unreasonable level of noise by any means including shouting, slamming doors, operating tools or machinery or playing music, radio or television
• Domestic Violence
• Inconsiderate parking/repair of vehicles
• Dumping of rubbish

Your tenancy agreement – the legal contract between landlord and tenant – makes it clear that you are responsible for the conduct of all people (including children) living in or visiting your home.
