To ask the Manager to outline the powers currently available to this council to deal with complaints regarding anti-social behaviour linked to private residential tenancies; and to advise on any expected changes in the council's functions in this regard?

There are currently no powers available to the Council in regard to anti-social behaviour linked to private residential tenancies.  It is anticipated that with the proposed transfer of Rental Supplement to local authorities in respect of long term recipients of RS in 2013 that some powers will fall within the remit of local authorities. Details are expected later this year on this matter and members will be kept fully informed on progress.
