Success stories
LMH does not tolerate anti-social behaviour by or towards any of our customers. We take all reports of anti-social behaviour seriously and will use legal action when necessary to resolve problem behaviour in our neighbourhoods.
April 2009
When two residents were attacked by a family member of another resident, we took swift action, helping to prepare witness statements and applying to court for an injunction. When the terms of the injunction were breached we went back to court for an extension and served a notice seeking possession of the property where the culprit lived. As a result, the tenant concerned has now agreed to work with support services to address their family's unacceptable behaviour.
September 2009
LMH successfully obtained an injunction at Liverpool Civil and Family Courts against one of their tenants in the North Area of the City.
The resident, who had been disrupting other tenants with banging, singing and playing loud music into the early hours, is now prohibited from engaging in any conduct which is capable of causing nuisance or annoyance to any person living in the block of flats where they live.
Liverpool Mutual Homes will take any breach of the tenancy agreement seriously and are committed to creating sustainable communities where residents can live in peace. The Injunction lasts for 12 months.
September 2009
A group of Youths have been causing anti social behaviour in the West area. Police, the local Councillors and the LMH team and residents have worked together to try and resolve this, and last week 5 youths signed 'Acceptable Behaviour Contracts' .
These Contracts outline the things the youths cannot do, and things they must do. If they do not abide by the agreements they have signed, they can be issued with 'Anti-social Behaviour Orders ( ASBO's) , and if they disobey the ASBO's they can be put in custody.
The youth's parents accompanied them to theLocal Police station to sign the Contracts, and those that are LMH tenants have received letters telling them that such behaviour by their sons , is a breach of their tenancy conditions. They were warned that they can be evicted if their sons contiue to cause anti social behaviour.
LMH and the Police, residents and Councillors will continue to monitor the activites of the youths involved and take futher action if they break the Acceptable Behaviour Contract.
October 2009
We obtained a 12 month injunction at court on a 65 year old male resident of one of our Sheltered schemes.
The Defendant had displayed threatening and intimidating behaviour towards residents and staff.
3 residents, two members of staff and a care worker previously employed at the scheme attended the hearing. The Defendant failed to appear and the order was made in his absence.
The Defendant is now forbidden from engaging or threatening to engage in conduct likely to cause alarm or distress to any resident or lawful visitor to the scheme.

The order forbids the tenant or any other person from engaging or threatening to engage in conduct which is capable of causing a nuisance or annoyance to any employee or contractor of the claimant visiting or otherwise engaging in lawful activity in or in the neighbourhood.
