Anti-Social Behaviour
It is Swans aim to promote a safe and secure environment for people to live in. We want to do everything we can to prevent anti-social behaviour before it starts. We will do this by enforcing tenancy conditions and using preventative methods where appropriate.
Where necessary, we will deal effectively with non-tenants who directly or indirectly affect our estate management function. We will work 'together' with our to create safer neighbourhoods.
What is Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)?
Anti-social behaviour is defined in law as: “Behaviour that is capable of causing nuisance or annoyance to any person that does not live in the same household as the person(s) causing the anti-social behaviour, and can be considered so by any reasonable person.”
In practice, anti-social behaviour can take many forms, but behaviour will be considered anti-social if it breaches tenancy conditions or meets the criteria above. Why does Swan have a special policy for anti-social behaviour?
Swan takes anti-social behaviour very seriously, and we are committed to working in partnership with our tenants, leaseholders and other agencies to reduce anti-social behaviour. Our policy sets out Swan’s position on anti-social behaviour and the action Swan can take.
In order to make our approach to anti-social behaviour clear we have developed three key documents:-
Our statement of policy – this describes our general approach to anti-social behaviour and our commitment to dealing with it.
