Are these cases of anti social behaviour?
Hi
I have a tenant who is causing issues and would appreciate guidance on if the below examples would be classed as antisocial behavior and therefore eligible reasons for potential section 8 action. I am also unsure what evidence needs to be provided if section 8 processes were to take place.
Does anyone have experience/knowledge they could share based on the examples below please?
They left a pan on the hob unattended, so much so that another tenant found it smoking at close risk of catching fire.
A few days ago a neighbour reported the same tenant shooting an air rifle at bottles on our property around 6 am in the morning. No damage or abuse was recorded.
The same neighbour also reported drug use on the property both from the same tenant as well as guests of his.
My thoughts are:
- example 1 put other tenants and the property at risk through ignorance, and could be antisocial while not directly causing aggression against others.
- example 2 could just be more 'nuissance' given the tenant was asked to stop, obliged and apologized
- example 3 is the strongest case, as per clear reasons
All examples are from the same tenant. If pursuing section 8 action what evidence would be required (I have no prior experience of this)? I have a comprehensive record of all communication but no photos or further evidence.
Many thanks for any guidance on these matters!
