Dealing with antisocial behaviour
Antisocial behaviour is behaviour that is disruptive to you, your friends and family, or your local community.
All Clarion residents should behave respectfully under the terms of their tenancies or lease agreements, which means any antisocial behaviour or criminality could lead to eviction.
Important: If you’re in immediate danger, phone the police on 999.
What is antisocial behaviour?
Antisocial behaviour can mean a one-off incident of violence or crime, but it often refers to a problem or issue that lasts over a longer period of time. It can include:
- actual or threatened violence, physical abuse, or verbal abuse
- illegal use of premises or other criminal behaviour, such as drug dealing
- drug or alcohol-related nuisance
- vandalism or misuse of communal areas and public spaces
- neighbourhood nuisance, such as littering, fly-tipping, or joyriding
- pet and animal nuisance, such as using animals in a threatening way
- excessive noise, shouting, swearing, and banging.
What isn't antisocial behaviour
Problems due to different lifestyles or everyday living situations are not normally considered antisocial behaviour. These low-level behaviours often include babies crying, children playing, DIY during reasonable hours, one-off parties, cooking or household smells, smoke and minor disputes between neighbours.
