5.1 You must not behave in the neighbourhood in a way that is (or is likely to be) a nuisance or annoyance to other people. It is not possible to list everything that is a nuisance or annoyance. These are examples of some of the most common kinds:
- loud music and other unreasonable noise
- noisy DIY for prolonged periods or late at night
- rowdy behaviour, including excessive visitors, shouting, and swearing at people
- keeping animals in an irresponsible way (or at all in some flats) against part 7
- keeping your home (including any garden area) in poor condition (see paragraphs 8.7 to 8.15 for examples of how we expect you to maintain your home)
- misusing the communal areas against Part 9.
5.2 You must not harass, intimidate or abuse:
- anybody in the neighbourhood
- anybody at our offices
- anybody that you know to is connected to the neighbourhood or management of your tenancy (for example, your neighbours, their visitors, or our staff), wherever they are.
Harassment includes offensive behaviour directed at people because of their age, gender, disability, racial group, sexual orientation, religion, or belief. It also includes indirect threats towards people and making malicious allegations against people.
5.3 You must not have in your home any unlawful drugs or equipment for the misuse of drugs.
5.4 You must not use your home for immoral or illegal purposes or commit indictable offences in the neighbourhood.
5.5 Remember you are responsible for other members of your household and visitors to your home (see paragraph 1.12). You must not allow them to behave in an antisocial manner. This includes children.
