Examples of antisocial behaviour are:
making too much noise - including from televisions, CD players, digital

allowing pets to foul or cause damage to other people’s property or
common areas of the property such as the garden;
allowing visitors to the property to be too noisy;
vandalising or damaging the property or any part of the common areas
or neighbourhood;
leaving rubbish other than in the bins provided or leaving rubbish out to
be picked up on a day when it is not due to be picked up;
allowing the tenant and/or any other person (including children) living in
or using the property to cause a nuisance or annoyance to other people;
harassing any other tenant or occupier, visitors, neighbours, family
members of the landlord or employees of the landlord or agent, or any
other person or persons in the house, or neighbourhood, for whatever
reason. This includes behaviour due to that person’s race, colour or
ethnic origin, nationality, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion or
other belief, or other status;
using or carrying weapons;
using, selling, growing, making or supplying unlawful drugs or selling
alcohol;
storing or bringing onto the property any type of unlicensed firearm or

neighbours, family members of the landlord or employees of the landlord
or agent, or any other person or persons in the house, or

which would amount to antisocial behaviour.
