Anti-social behaviour
Please contact us when you become aware of anti-social behaviour.
Noise #
The most common problem is noise, especially in terraced properties:
- Be careful when positioning televisions and speakers. Try to avoid party walls.
- Keep noise levels low, especially after 11pm.
- Inform your neighbours about parties and ask people to be quiet when leaving.
- Be considerate when returning at night. Do not talk loudly, bang car doors, play loud music, etc.
You may be committing a criminal offence by causing noise problems in your home or on the street.
Resolution procedures #
Most anti-social behaviour is dealt with between the owner and the occupants.
A letter is sent to occupants when complaints are raised by one or more residents. If the anti-social behaviour continues:
- the owner may contact the University, guarantors, and the police
- you will have broken the terms of your contract and legal action will be taken.
