No Home For Anti-Social Behaviour
02 September 2008
North Shropshire’s newest not-for-profit housing landlord, Meres and Mosses Housing Association, has said it will not tolerate Anti Social Behaviour.
The comments follow an eviction for Anti Social Behaviour from one of their properties in Whitchurch which took place in June following two years of continuous complaints relating to the tenant and visitors.
Julie Manning, MMHA Neighbourhood Services Team Leader, who attended the hearing at Shrewsbury Court, said: “ There had been numerous complaints related to noise, foul language, threats and intimidation. The eviction was achieved with the help of residents who were prepared to give witness statements and attended Court.
“MMHA will not tolerate the Anti Social Behaviour the tenant had demonstrated and we are pleased that residents were able to help us deal with it so successfully.’
Possession of the property was granted to MMHA on the basis that the defendant had been given more than fair opportunity to amend behaviour and had failed to work with anyone to resolve the issues.
In granting the Outright Possession order, the Judge considered whether, if by granting a Postponed Possession Order, the defendant would comply with the terms of the Order, but he did not believe the tenant would moderate behaviour.
