Under the current provisions of section 9A of the Housing Act 1988, judges must give specific consideration to the impact anti-social behaviour has had on victims, any continuing effect of the behaviour, and any effect the behaviour would have if it was repeated. Judges will now also have to consider whether the perpetrator has engaged with steps taken to resolve their behaviour and the particular impact of the behaviour on fellow tenants in HMOs.
