Neighbour Nuisance and Antisocial Behaviour

Our Neighbour Nuisance and Antisocial Behaviour Policy explains how we manage neighbour nuisance and antisocial behaviour in Moray. 

A range of types of behaviour may be referred to as ‘neighbour nuisance’ or ‘antisocial behaviour’. We prioritise complaints according to the categories listed below:

• Category A - Very serious antisocial behaviour, which normally includes criminal activity, causing danger and putting others at risk.
• Category B - Situations where the behaviour may stop short of criminal activity but could be a deliberate attempt to cause disturbance or annoyance to a neighbour. It is likely to be more than a clash of lifestyles and has disregard for others where behaviours are recurring, becoming more frequent or persistent and early intervention attempts to change behaviour is not working.
• Category C - Minor issues between two neighbours and minor breaches of tenancy agreements. This includes the use of common areas, maintenance, boundaries and low level domestic noise which will be dealt with by the relevant area housing team.

More detailed information on how we deal with antisocial behaviour and neighbour nuisance can be found in our tenants' handbook.
