What is anti-social behaviour (ASB)?

At Tai Calon, we follow the law. This law says that if you do things that cause a nuisance or annoyance, it is called ASB. Here are some examples:

Loud Noise: Playing music too loud or shouting often.
Vandalism: Breaking or damaging things that belong to your neighbour or Tai Calon.
Rubbish: Leaving trash in the wrong places.
Harassment: Being mean to a neighbour or bothering their visitors.
Drugs: Using, selling, or helping with illegal drugs.
Hate Crime: Treating someone badly because of how they look, who they are, or what they believe.

Not Anti-social Behaviour: Common Misconceptions

Some things people do are perfectly normal and safe. They are not Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB). For example:

Neighbour problems: We don’t check on small arguments unless they become very serious. If people want, we can call someone who is really good at solving problems. This is called mediation.
Household noise: The sound of a washing machine, footsteps in the hallway or people talking nicely is okay.
Children playing: When kids laugh, play, or have fun outside, that’s all right.
Car parking: Sometimes a house can have lots of cars. We usually don’t check who owns each car. Even if it feels annoying not to park close to your home, it’s ok and not against the rules if someone parks outside another home.
