Coastline Housing has secured a victory against a serious Anti-Social Behaviour perpetrator and been granted an outright Possession Order following a recent court case.
The Defendant had been causing persistent anti-social behaviour for three years, which included frequent physical and verbal abusive conduct towards other residents in the area and Coastline staff and contractors. There were also multiple lower level, nuisance breaches.
Prior to issuing the possession claim, Coastline had repeatedly taken steps to try and resolve the issues, providing numerous warnings and attempts to engage with the defendant working with numerous other agencies in doing so.
Coastline and our solicitors received praise from the barrister presenting the case to the court for the professional way in which we dealt with the offender, the detailed evidence bundle we put together and the witness statements we had gathered. He was also extremely impressed with how Coastline worked with other agencies, going above and beyond to support our customers.
The Judge found that it was reasonable to make a Possession Order based upon the number and gravity of allegations, the long period of time over which they had taken place and the amount of opportunities the tenant had had to deal with their behaviour previously, but had failed to do so.
