Noise is behind most of the complaints made against Lincoln’s council tenants.
So far this year, there have been 54 complaints made against people living in council accommodation, of which 41 have been for noise.
The council investigate all allegations, but not all of them are proven.
Eight complaints have also been made about tenants for verbal abuse, harassment, intimidation or threatening behaviour.
In another four incidents, people have complained about residents’ pets.
There has also been one hate-related complaint, which was in the Abbey ward.
Not all parts of the city see equal numbers of claims against council tenants.
Moorland leads the way with 13, followed by Park ward with 12.
The City of Lincoln Council is currently looking into 22 different anti-social behaviour cases, according to a report going before the House Scrutiny Panel next week.
It says that the council’s tenancy services work hard with public protection and legal teams to combat anti-social behaviour.
Where allegations are proved, the council can issue tenants with a Notice of Seeking Possession to take the property back.
The report confirms that the council is currently seeking an injunction against one tenant due to threats against staff and abusive behaviour directed toward customer services.
In another case, a tenant was served with a notice after being convicted of supplying Class A drugs.

Court summons are pending for two motorists, one in a car and another on a motorbike, after they clocked up unbelievable speeds on the A46 on Tuesday.
Lincolnshire Police Specialist Operations received two reports of excessive speeds on the A46 between Newark and Lincoln on Tuesday.
A car and motorbike both hit speeds of almost double the dual carriageway speed limit, with the car driver reaching 120 miles per hour and the motorbike going even quicker at 127mph.
Both motorists will be receiving a summons for court “in due course”, according to Lincolnshire Police.
Work by our Lincoln Neighbourhood Policing Teams to combat theft in the city has had another boost following the charge of a further two individuals.
Adam Golightly, 43, of Allandale View, Lincoln, was arrested following a proactive shop theft operation in the city centre last week. He has been charged with seven counts of theft and two bike thefts.
All of the shop thefts are reported to have taken place at Co-op stores in the city centre area and Carholme Road between June and last week. Items stolen included meat and cleaning products to the value of £424. The bike thefts also happened during that period. One of the bikes stolen was valued at £360, the other was an unknown value.
Following a hearing at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court on 12 August where he entered a not guilty plea, he has been given conditional bail and will appear at the court for trial on 22 September. His bail condition is not to enter any Coop store in Lincolnshire.
In a separate case, Carl Atkin, 37, of Friar’s Lane, Lincoln, was charged on 11 August with five bike thefts which took place at different times and locations across the city. On 12 August at a hearing at Lincoln Magistrate’s Court, he was given a 10 week sentence, suspended for 12 months.
