Before Seeking Revenge on Bad Neighbors—Try Diplomacy

You’d be surprised what a little kindness can do. Set a good example by talking to your neighbors about the issue. Maybe they’re not aware of the effect the problem has on other neighbors. Follow these instructions to try and approach the neighbor in question in a friendly manner:

1. Bring a little gift if you feel like it (flowers or baked goods)
2. Make sure you’re calm and composed
3. Visit your neighbors
4. Inform them about the noise they’re making or any other problem they’re causing
5. Explain why it bothers you and how it affects your activities
6. Offer a solution that works for everyone

You may be able to solve the issue and possibly make a friend along the way.

Peace Was Never an Option—How To Get Revenge on Neighbors the Subtle Way

Before involving a third party to resolve the issue, try giving your neighbors a little taste of their own medicine. Depending on what kind of neighbors you’re dealing with, you can try one of the following solutions:

How To Get Back at Neighbors by Involving a Third Party

Call for help when you realize your neighbors won’t cooperate despite trying every polite way to approach the problem. Your neighbors might take the situation more seriously if they see you involve more people in the issue. Depending on your situation, the right people to call can be:

• Police
• Animal control
• Your landlord
• Trash control
• Local neighborhood association
• Building manager

File a Complaint With Your Local Law Enforcement

You can file a formal complaint with your local police or sheriff’s department in the following ways:

1. Online
2. Phone call
3. In person

Keep in mind, filing a complaint against your neighbor most likely means ruining your relationship with them. Do it only if you have tried every peaceful method and be aware of the following:

• Filing a complaint is a serious step, and your neighbor may face legal consequences
• Your neighbor may attempt to threaten or hurt you. You should document any such attempts
• When you file a complaint, make sure you highlight that you tried every way to solve the problem peacefully and that your neighbor had no intention to cooperate
• Your neighbors may do the opposite of what you wanted to accomplish and start making even more ruckus
• Resolving a complaint takes a lot of time, and your neighbors will still be living near you until the complaint is resolved
• Your complaint could have more merit if you involve more neighbors. Ask your local law enforcement whether it makes any difference if you file a report together or separately
