Antisocial behaviour (ASB) is defined as actions that harm, or lack consideration for the well-being of otherswhich can include, but is not limited to:

• Excessive noise,

• Fly-tipping,

• Graffiti, and

• The build up of refuse.

Antisocial behaviour is a problem that influences everyone in the community and can reduce demand for property in the area as well as rental values, so it is in your best interests as a landlord to tackle any ASB that may arise in your property. Nottingham City Council has produced this handy guide which highlights:

• The Nature of ASB in Housing

• Reporting Anti-social Behaviour

• Landlord Good Practice

• Reasonable Steps to Combat and Reduce ASB
