Nuisance and Anti-Social Behaviour

Tenants are expected to take responsibility for maintaining a positive, harmonious atmosphere, respecting the rights of their neighbours, and to be responsible for the behaviour of their visitors.
 
Tenants should also take responsibility for ensuring noise levels do not intrude on other residents: this includes ensuring music is not audible to neighbours, doors and windows are not slammed, and noise levels are lower at night.
 
Alliance Housing will take a firm stand against anti-social behaviour.

• Bins

All rubbish should be securely wrapped before being placed in bins and the lid should be closed. Do not leave rubbish on the ground in the bin area. Boxes must be broken up and flattened before placing in bins.
Larger items of rubbish that do not fit in the bins will have to be disposed of by the tenant at a local transfer station.

• Mailboxes

Owners and residents are responsible for emptying and maintaining their mailbox. Junk mail should be disposed of responsibly. If you do not want to receive junk mail we recommend placing a suitable sign on your individual letterbox.

• Complaints​

Further information on making a complaint is included under Appeals.

• Tenants are urged to resolve noise issues directly with offenders in the first instance.
​If this is not effective or noise offences are repeated, please use the complaints form or phone (08) 9791 5438.

 

• The Strata Titles Act and by-laws

The Strata Titles Act 1985 governs behaviour within complexes. It provides that the Body Corporate may make by-laws and impose fines for contraventions and it makes clear that tenants are responsible for the behaviour of their visitors, including children, pets and parking.
