Background
Dealing with anti-social behaviour (ASB) as a private landlord or agent can be stressful, time consuming and often costly. Low level anti-social behaviour such as smoking cannabis, noise nuisance or incorrect disposal of rubbish can be tricky to manage and eradicate. Higher level anti-social behaviour such as harassment, abuse or using the property for illicit purposes can destroy lives and livelihoods.
