    As a neighborhood when problems arise with tenants of social housing, is there process home owners in the same estate should follow in reporting any serious crime and anti social behavior.

    Should we go to the housing association, or the local authority first? Should all incidents get a pulse IN from the gaurds?

    After that whats the process the RTB?

    Crime should be reported to Gardai. Anti social behavior in the first instance to Gardai and then housing body. If not resolved then the RTB.

    I am not familiar with RTB process but would expect mediation is the first step.

    Anti-social behaviour by definition is not unlawful so the gardai would have a very limited role. Notification to the social housing body would be advisable. I am not sure if the RTB now has authority over social housing situations.

    If you are having issues with a neighbour who is a tenant you can apply for dispute resolution as a third party.

    Reportiy anti social behavior to Gardai will strengthen any case with RTB.

    Op, you should follow the same prices as for non social housing tenants.

    Not true. There is plenty of illegal behaviour which is also anti-social. Eg drug dealing. Just because its dealth with by a different route doesn't make it any less antisocial.

    If there's illegal behaviour, complain to the guards and also complain to the house owner: So the council if it's council owned or the housing association if it's Association owned.
