What Housing Services can and cannot do if you have a problem with a neighbour :

We Can:

• Provide you with help to resolve the problem through our Mediation Service.
• Take the situation seriously and investigate the complaint thoroughly.
• Provide you with a high standard of customer service.
• Keep you informed.
• Implement effective procedures and comprehensive strategies to manage neighbour nuisance.
• Work with other agencies & departments such as, the Police,
Environmental Health and Social Work to resolve the situation.

We Cannot:

• Stop someone from doing something that is not illegal or is not a breach of their tenancy agreement.
• Provide a ‘quick fix’ to the problem.
• Pursue any legal action without proper evidence to support allegations of anti-social behaviour.
• Evict people from their homes unless the Sheriff deems it ‘reasonable’ following a full court hearing.
