What action can be taken against anti-social neighbours who are owner/occupiers?
Owner occupiers are not exempt from legal action being taken against them if they behave antisocially. The local authority and the police or a registered social landlord can make an application for an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) or an injunction if it is appropriate to do so. There are also powers available under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 which can be used to deal with statutory nuisance such as noise.
