Breach of Tenancy
Most neighbours live happily and show tolerance to others; however, disputes do occasionally arise because of various reasons, which may include:
• Loud music • Car repairs • Foul and abusive language • Badly behaved visitors • Rubbish and litter • Untidy gardens • Graffiti • Violence or threats of violence • Illegal drug use in or around the home • Harassment • Racial Abuse • Vandalism • Noise nuisance from animals and pets (This is not an exhaustive list)

If there is a problem
If you have a complaint about nuisance or antisocial behaviour, you should try to sort out the matter by discussing it carefully and tactfully with the person causing the nuisance. It is possible that the person does not even realise they, or a member of their family, are causing you a problem.
