Anti Social Behaviour
Housing Anti-Social Behaviour and Enforcement Team
(HASBET)
We believe that residents are entitled to live in well managed
homes where they feel good about themselves and their
communities.
Anti-social behaviour can take many different forms, ranging from
threatening behaviour to neighbour complaints, to loud
music or untidy gardens.
Your Homes Newcastle is committed to taking clear steps to deal
effectively with anti-social behaviour, nuisance and harassment so
that residents can live in a comfortable and safe environment.

Our dedicated Housing Anti Social Behaviour and Enforcement Team
aims to reduce anti social behaviour through supporting victims and
taking action against those who cause problems for their
neighbours. To support this we work in partnership with
Newcastle City Council, Northumbria Police and Victim
Support. We also work closely with ARCH to tackle hate crime
