This bill would give the Housing Ombudsman a discretionary power to try to resolve disputes between people living in neighbouring properties when nuisance is caused by a tenant. It would provide a non-court route to settle neighbour disputes related to nuisance and allow mediation or informal resolution. The power would be used at the Ombudsman’s discretion, and would not require intervention in every case.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons, with its first reading having taken place in March 2015. If passed, it would move on to further stages.
