We are clear in our tenancy agreement that we will not tolerate domestic violence against our residents. Our residents’ responsibilities are:
"Not to cause or allow members of the tenant’s household or visitors to commit any form of discrimination, harassment or intimidation against neighbours or other residents or visitors because of their age, colour, disability or illness, marital status, occupation, race, religion, sex or sexuality."
We will take legal action against any of our residents who carry out domestic violence or allow people who are living with them or visiting them to carry out domestic violence.
What is domestic violence?
Any incident of violence, abuse or threatening behaviour carried out in order to exercise power and maintain control over another person.
This abuse is carried out across al ages, social classes and ethnic groupings. This abuse may be physical, sexual, financial or emotional in nature and be used between persons who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender.
