(Includes, Landlord and Tenant)
Community and Neighbour mediation is a way of resolving disputes between those who live in the same area or neighbourhood. Disputes may not only be between two neighbours, it is also possible to resolve disputes between whole tenements, areas or groups of people. Mediation can also assist with disputes between tenants and landlords
Disputes may involve many different issues, including:
- noise
- anti-social behaviour
- boundary problems
- abusive behaviour
- common areas
- pets
- repairs and maintenance
In Scotland many local authorities benefit from a community mediation service, which may be available free of charge. There are also a number of independent mediators who specialise in neighbour and community disputes. To find a local mediation service, or a mediator who serves your area, use Find A Mediator, call the Scottish Mediation Helpline on 0131 556 8118, or email us on admin@scottishmediation.org.uk
Scottish Mediation has also now been funded by the Safedeposits Scotland Charitable Trust to provide free mediation for neighbours where at least one party is in private rented accommodation. For more details please click HERE
