Will I have to attend court?

The Housing Act 1996 enables us to take some forms of legal action against tenants acting in a way which is likely to cause nuisance, annoyance or be a disturbance to others.  This means that we can make use of professional witnesses and use ’hearsay’ evidence, where people are too frightened to attend Court, and we can outline the likely affect the anti-social behaviour would have on other tenants and residents.  However, live evidence from the people who have actually seen or heard the anti-social behaviour is much stronger, and is more likely to lead to a successful outcome at court.
