Anti-social behaviour info for housing tenants - Smoking in communal areas

Since 2007, the internal communal areas of block of flats must be smoke-free by law. Residents who smoke in the internal communal areas can be prosecuted by the local authority and fined up to £200.

Enclosed communal areas or blocks of flats are designated smoke-free premises. Even external porches that are less than 50% open-sided must be smoke-free. If you see a neighbour is smoking in the communal areas or it is an ongoing issue for you please complete this e-form.

If you didn't find what you need, you can go back to the anti-social behaviour tookit to look again at the A-Z, categories or search.
