Tackling anti-social behaviour

Legal action

See other pages

If anti-social behaviour continues after a final warning - or if someone is in danger - we will start legal action straight away.

We can ask the court to give us:

  • an injunction - a legal order that instructs the perpetrator to stop acting anti-socially; or
  • an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) banning the perpetrator from coming into specific areas or doing certain things; or
  • permission to evict the 'responsible tenant' (the tenant is responsible for their own behaviour and for the behaviour of anyone living with them or visiting their home).

We will support and advise people through the legal process; especially if they have to give evidence in court.
