(1) The New South Wales Land and Housing Corporation may, by notice in writing
given to a tenant under a social housing tenancy agreement under which it is
the landlord, request the tenant to give a written undertaking (an
"acceptable behaviour agreement" ), in the terms specified in the notice, not
to engage in specified anti-social behaviour on any of the following--
(b) any property
adjoining or adjacent to those premises (including any property that is
available for use by the tenant in common with others).
(2) The operation of
an acceptable behaviour agreement extends to the behaviour of any other person
occupying (or jointly occupying) the social housing premises with the consent
of the tenant (a
"lawful occupier" ). Accordingly, if any such lawful occupier engages in any
anti-social behaviour that is specified in the agreement, the tenant is taken
to have engaged in the behaviour and breached the agreement.
(3) The
Corporation may request a tenant to enter into an
acceptable behaviour agreement only if the Corporation is of the opinion that,
based on--
(5) An
acceptable behaviour agreement is of no effect unless the Corporation has
complied with subsection (4) in relation to the agreement.
(6) In this
section, a reference to
"anti-social behaviour" includes a reference to emission of excessive noise,
littering, dumping of cars, vandalism and defacing of property.
