To report serious issues with neighbours, follow the relevant guidance.
If you are unsure of your neighbour's tenure (for example council tenant, private tenant, owner-occupier and so on) call ACCESSLine on 03452 777 778 or use the Angus Council enquiry form.
Council tenant
To report serious issues with neighbours who are council tenants:
- call ACCESSLine on 03452 777 778 or
- complete our online enquiry form
This includes antisocial behaviour (behaviour which is causing you alarm or distress).
Private tenant
If a tenant or visitor is engaging in antisocial behaviour at a private rented property, the landlord has a responsibility to take all reasonable steps to deal with the behaviour.
If a landlord fails to take these steps, we can issue an anti-social behaviour notice.
This requires the landlord to take reasonable steps to deal with the antisocial behaviour within a specific period.
If a landlord does not take the actions detailed in the notice, we can apply to the court for a rent penalty notice or a management control order against the landlord.
For further advice, call ACCESSLine on 03452 777 778 or use the Angus Council enquiry form.

- Hillcrest

Due to reduced financial resources we will no longer carry out investigations for owner-occupiers’ complaints of anti-social behaviour against other owner-occupiers.
