New from the Housing Ombudsman: Learning from Severe Maladministration – July 2025

The latest report focuses on how landlords are responding to Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) complaints – and highlights clear areas where services can be strengthened to better support residents and reduce harm.

It identifies seven key areas for improvement:

  • Hate incidents and harassment
  • Noise-related ASB
  • Risk assessments and action plans
  • ASB-related repairs
  • Multi-agency working
  • Complaint handling and communication
  • Distinguishing ASB from disrepair issues

This is a valuable opportunity for providers to reflect, learn, and enhance how ASB is managed – ensuring safer, more responsive services for communities. The full report can be found below and makes a useful read for anyone involved in housing management.
