Who has to comply with an Antisocial Behaviour Notice?
If a local authority serves an antisocial behaviour notice on a landlord, the landlord must carry out the actions specified in the notice. Agents may be asked by a landlord to take the steps specified in the notice, and a copy of any Notice served on a landlord is sent to any known agent of that landlord, but responsibility for ensuring the action is taken lies with the landlord. Tenants are not liable to be served with Antisocial Behaviour Notices however provisions within the 2004 Act allow local authorities and the police to target persons responsible for antisocial behaviour on an individual basis. This may involve the service of an Antisocial Behaviour Order (ASBO) on a tenant who is behaving antisocially. A landlord who is served an Antisocial Behaviour Notice may find that the antisocial tenant is already under an ASBO from the local authority.
