Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)
Everyone is entitled to live safely.
Anti-social behaviour can cause real
distress and harm. That’s why we
are committed to taking appropriate
action against it, working closely with
our partners. We look for solutions
that respect the diverse needs and
circumstances of all our customers.
Your allocated housing officer will be
your main contact for reporting and
dealing with ASB issues.
For more details, please see our
‘Guide to anti-social behaviour’, which
you can download from the bdht website.
What is ASB?
Anti-social behaviour is behaviour by a bdht customer, a member
of their household or a visitor that causes nuisance, annoyance, or
distress. This includes:
• Unreasonable noise - noise that occurs at an unreasonable hour
and is loud enough to cause a nuisance
• Threats of violence
• Hate-related incidents and discrimination
• Harassment and abusive behaviour
• Domestic abuse
• Dumping rubbish (known as fly-tipping)
• Failure to control pets
• Using the home for illegal purposes, such as drug dealing or
prostitution.
