When you report anti social behaviour to us, there are different things we can try to solve the problem. Where possible, things like warning letters, or acceptable behaviour contracts (ABCs) are helpful. Sometimes though, in the most serious cases, we need to take legal action - including taking steps to get our property back.
If we don’t follow the correct legal process we could face harsh penalties, like fines for an unlawful eviction. This can take a long time from start to finish.
We recently dealt with an extreme case of noise nuisance, where one resident of a block of flats caused severe disruption to others. We worked with them to gather the evidence needed to support a legal case that was eventually successful.
The table below shows the sort of timescales involved.
