Leaseholders Handbook
Anti-social behaviour
Kingston Council wants all residents to enjoy their home in peace and comfort, free from nuisance and harassment. The Council is fully committed to reducing anti social behaviour and creating a safer and more enjoyable place to live.
Harassment of any kind to or by any tenant, leaseholder or member of staff will not be tolerated. The Council will deal with anti-social behaviour through effective use of policies and strategies. By working in partnership with other agencies in the borough and by working with communities the Council aims to improve the borough for all.
We will utilise the full range of tools available to us including legal action where appropriate. Council tenants and leaseholders all have obligations contained in their lease or tenancy agreements not to cause annoyance to their neighbours. If you choose to sub-let your property you remain responsible for the conduct of anyone occupying the accommodation.
If you experience any form of anti-social behaviour please call the Housing Contact Centre on 020 8547 5003 and ask to speak to your Resident Services Officer. They will be able to provide advice and assistance, or will put you in touch with other agencies that can help.
