Be a good neighbour in public housing

As a public housing tenant you have the right to enjoy your property in peace and quiet.

Your neighbours also have this right, so it's important you don't cause problems for them. 

How to be a good neighbour

You should do all of the following:

• show respect for your neighbours
• help to create reasonable peace, quiet and enjoyment in your neighbourhood
• be responsible for your visitors
• park only in designated spaces 
• make sure you do not create problems or engage in antisocial behaviour.
