What if my neighbours are causing Anti-Social Behaviour?

What if my neighbours are causing a nuisance?

Everybody has the right to live peacefully in his or her own home and it is therefore a condition in your Seven Locks Tenancy Agreement that tenants must not cause a nuisance or annoyance to their neighbours.

Seven Locks Housing Ltd (Seven Locks Housing) is committed to working in partnership with other agencies including the police and Harborough District Council to ensure that Harborough District is a thriving, vibrant and sustainable community where people choose to live and work.

Seven Locks Housing has consulted with tenants and other agencies to review the policy and procedures in order to strengthen the way in which we deal with Anti-social behaviour. This was approved by the Board in February 2009. This will assist us to manage our housing stock and ensure our tenants, shared owners and leaseholders enjoy the basic right to use, enjoy and have security in their homes and the communities in which they live.

However we have to be reasonable in approach in dealing with complaints of anti-social behaviour and take into consideration what is reasonable e.g. undertaking DIY during the day is reasonable but undertaking the same activity during the late evening and early hours of the morning is unreasonable.

If you feel that you are suffering from anti-social behaviour and would like to discuss it with your Area Housing Manager but do not know who they are, please speak to one of our Customer Service Advisors on 01858 414500. They will be happy to advise you of the name of your Area Housing Manager and their direct telephone number.

In cases where the nuisance of anti-social behaviour is not a breach of tenancy conditions, we will offer advice and sign-post you to other agencies who may be able to help, for example you can also report noise nuisance to the Environmental Services Department of Harborough District Council by telephoning customer services on 01858-828282.
